You saved a post on LinkedIn to read later. Now you cannot find it. LinkedIn buries saved posts in a menu that changes location depending on whether you use desktop or mobile. The platform makes saving easy and finding hard.
Most people save posts and never return to them. This wastes a valuable source of content ideas and engagement opportunities.
This guide shows you exactly how to find your saved posts. More importantly, it shows you what to do with them once you find them.

Why Finding Saved Posts Feels Impossible
LinkedIn's user interface changes frequently. The platform moves features around without announcement. A path that worked last month might not work today. This creates frustration for users who just want to find content they saved.
The save feature itself is simple. You click three dots and select save. LinkedIn confirms with a brief notification. The problem comes later when you want to find that saved content. The platform offers no obvious path back to your saved items.
LinkedIn groups saved posts with other saved content like jobs and courses. This makes sense from an organizational perspective but confuses users who only want their posts. The mixed category approach buries content under multiple menu layers.
The platform also uses different navigation paths for desktop and mobile. A method that works on your laptop will not work on your phone. This inconsistency forces users to learn two separate paths for the same feature.
How to Save a Post on LinkedIn
Before you can find saved posts, you need to save them correctly. The process differs slightly between desktop and mobile.
Saving on Desktop:
- Find a post you want to save.
- Look for three dots in the top-right corner of the post. Click the three dots.
- Select "Save" from the dropdown menu.
- LinkedIn briefly confirms the save with a notification at the bottom of your screen.
Saving on Mobile:
- Find a post you want to save.
- Tap three dots in the top-right corner of the post.
- Tap "Save" from the menu that appears.
- The post adds to your saved items immediately.
You can save any type of post including text updates, images, carousels, documents, videos, and articles. LinkedIn treats all saved content the same way regardless of format.

What to Do With Saved Posts (Beyond Just Saving)
Finding saved posts solves the immediate problem. Using them strategically creates long-term value. Here is how to turn saved posts into actionable opportunities.
Content Inspiration Workflow
Saved posts show you what content works well in your industry. Study these posts to understand why they perform better. Notice the post hook and structure. Try to see why the post made you stop scrolling.
Once you see these patterns, organize your saved posts by type. Put educational posts in one group. Keep inspirational stories separate from practical tips. Sort by topic or format. This simple organization helps you find ideas faster when you need them.
Review your saved posts every week. Spend fifteen minutes looking through what you saved. Pull out key ideas and note topics that come up often. Use what you learn to plan your own content. Without this weekly habit, your saved posts just sit there unused.
Engagement Strategy
Saved posts create natural engagement opportunities. When you save a post, you show interest in that topic. Return to these posts and leave thoughtful comments. Add real value instead of generic responses like "great post."
Use saved posts to start conversations with your connections. Share a saved post with someone relevant and tell them why it made you think of them. This personal touch builds stronger relationships than sending generic connection requests.
Reference saved posts when you create your own content. Give credit to the original creator when you expand on their ideas. This builds goodwill with other creators and provides value to your audience at the same time.
Comment Ideas From Saved Posts
Saved posts give you endless comment ideas. When you read a saved post, ask what question was not answered. Think about what perspective is missing and consider what experience you can add to the discussion.
Turn these thoughts into comments. Ask questions that extend the conversation. Share experiences that add depth. Offer counterpoints that challenge ideas respectfully.
Comments based on saved posts show real engagement. They prove you read the content carefully, not just skimmed it. This quality of engagement brings more profile views and connection requests.

Common Issues and Fixes
Issue: Saved posts seem to disappear
Fix: LinkedIn sometimes groups posts and articles separately. Check both "All" and "Articles" filters in your saved items section.
Issue: Cannot find the Resources section
Fix: LinkedIn allows you to reorder profile sections. Scroll up and down your profile to locate Resources. If missing, you may need to add it through profile editing.
Issue: Mobile path does not match instructions
Fix: LinkedIn updates mobile interfaces frequently. Look for "Saved Items" or "My Items" in your profile menu if the Resources path changes.
Issue: Too many saved posts to manage
Fix: Set a weekly reminder to review and clean up saved posts. Unsave content you have already used or no longer need and keep only posts with ongoing value.
