LinkedIn Saved Posts: How to Find & Manage Your Bookmarks
Learn how to save posts on LinkedIn and find them later. Complete guide to bookmarking content, accessing saved items, and managing your collection.
LinkedIn lets you save posts and articles to read later, but finding them isn't intuitive. Your saved content lives in the "My Items" section—accessible via your profile or directly at linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts/. Unfortunately, LinkedIn doesn't offer search within saved posts, making organization challenging as your collection grows.
Key Takeaways

- Desktop location: Left sidebar under "My Items" or Profile → Resources
- Mobile location: Profile → Resources → Saved posts and articles
- No search function: You cannot search within saved posts
- Syncs across devices: Saved content appears on both desktop and mobile

Understanding "My Items" on LinkedIn
According to Dewey, the My Items section is a centralized hub containing:
| Item Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Saved posts | Regular feed posts you've bookmarked |
| Saved articles | Long-form LinkedIn articles |
| Saved jobs | Job listings you've saved |
| Saved events | LinkedIn events you're interested in |
All saved content syncs seamlessly between desktop and mobile—save something on your phone, and it appears on desktop too.
The Limitation: No Search Function
According to Medium, LinkedIn's biggest saved posts limitation is the lack of search:
What you CAN'T do:
- Search saved posts by keyword
- Filter by date saved
- Organize into custom folders
- Sort by topic or author
What this means: As your saved collection grows, finding specific content becomes increasingly difficult. You're left scrolling through everything to find what you need.
Workarounds
Use browser bookmarks: Instead of saving in LinkedIn, bookmark the post URL in your browser where you can organize and search.
External tools: Apps like Dewey help organize and search LinkedIn saved content.
Save selectively: Only save content you'll definitely revisit to keep your collection manageable.
Unsave after reading: Remove posts once you've consumed them to reduce clutter.
How to Unsave Content
On Desktop
- Go to your saved posts
- Find the post you want to unsave
- Click the three dots (...) on the post
- Select "Unsave"
On Mobile
- Navigate to saved posts
- Tap the three dots on the post
- Tap "Unsave"
Alternatively, when viewing a saved post in your feed, click/tap the bookmark icon to toggle it off.
Best Practices for Managing Saved Posts
Save Strategically
Don't save everything interesting—only content you'll actually return to:
- Reference material for projects
- Posts to share with colleagues
- Content to inspire your own posts
- Job listings to apply to later
Review Regularly
Set a weekly reminder to:
- Review saved posts
- Read what you've been putting off
- Unsave content you no longer need
- Act on saved job listings before they expire
Use Alternative Organization Methods
Since LinkedIn lacks folders:
- Screenshot important posts for separate organization
- Copy post URLs to note-taking apps
- Create a spreadsheet tracking saved content by topic
- Use third-party tools designed for LinkedIn content management
Consider the Source
When saving posts:
- Check when it was posted (old content may be outdated)
- Note the author for future reference
- Consider if the information will remain relevant
Saved Jobs: A Special Case
Saved jobs work slightly differently:
- Saved jobs have expiration dates (job listings close)
- You can see when jobs were posted
- Set up job alerts for similar roles
- Track your application status for saved jobs
Access saved jobs at: linkedin.com/my-items/saved-jobs/
