How to Edit or Cancel a Scheduled LinkedIn Post

LinkedIn lets you edit almost every part of a scheduled post right up until it publishes. Open your scheduled posts list, click the more options icon on the post you want to change, and choose to modify the schedule or edit the post content directly.

What you can edit before it goes live

You can rewrite the text, adjust hashtags and mentions, swap out images, replace a PDF or document, or change an attached video, and you can reschedule the post to a different date and time as many times as you need without losing your place in the queue. This makes catching a typo or updating a stat before publication a quick fix rather than a full re-draft.

How to reschedule a LinkedIn post

From the scheduled posts list, open the post, select modify schedule, and choose a new date and time. One current limitation worth knowing: rescheduling a LinkedIn Page post is available on desktop and iOS, so Android users need to switch to one of those to change a scheduled time.

How to delete a scheduled LinkedIn post

Open the scheduled post, choose the delete option, and confirm in the pop-up that appears. Once confirmed, the post is permanently removed from the queue with no undo, so it is worth a second look before confirming if you have several posts scheduled around the same time.

Reducing the need for last-minute edits

Most scheduled-post edits happen because something was rushed at the time of scheduling. Drafting LinkedIn posts a few days ahead with a LinkedIn scheduler gives you a buffer to review before the post is live, catching typos and stale stats while there is still time to fix them without stress. Posted Once shows your entire scheduled queue across LinkedIn and nine other platforms in one calendar, so spotting something that needs a fix is easier than digging through each platform separately.
