LinkedIn Saved Posts Feature With Custom Folders
LinkedIn Saved Posts Feature With Custom Folders
Professional networking platforms like LinkedIn contain valuable content that users want to revisit—insightful articles, job postings, networking opportunities, or educational resources. However, LinkedIn currently lacks a native system to save and organize posts for later reference. Users resort to inefficient workarounds like screenshotting, browser bookmarking, or liking posts to resurface them in their activity feed. A dedicated save feature could streamline content management for professionals who need organized access to important information.
The Core Idea
One way to address this gap would be to introduce a feature allowing LinkedIn users to save posts with one click, access them in a dedicated "Saved" section, and organize them into custom folders (e.g., "Job Opportunities," "Industry News"). The system could cache saved content to ensure availability even if the original post is deleted. Optional reminders and search functionality could help users manage their saved content effectively.
Benefits and Stakeholder Alignment
This feature could benefit multiple groups:
- Job seekers could save relevant postings and career advice.
- Professionals could curate industry knowledge and trends.
- LinkedIn could see increased engagement and retention.
Content creators would gain longer visibility for their posts, while advertisers could target users who demonstrate higher intent by saving content.
Implementation Approach
A minimal viable product might start with a save button and basic saved posts view, then gradually add features like:
- Custom folders for organization
- Advanced search within saved content
- Optional reminders for revisiting saved posts
Future enhancements could include shared collections for teams or integration with LinkedIn Learning. The feature could be tested initially with a small user group to validate assumptions about usage patterns and organizational needs.
