Collaborative articles

Last updated: 3 weeks ago

At LinkedIn, we regularly evaluate our features to ensure we’re investing in the tools that deliver the most value to our members. As part of this ongoing effort, we’ve made the decision to retire some features of collaborative articles.

Collaborative articles are knowledge topics published by LinkedIn with insights and perspectives added by the LinkedIn community. While we are no longer developing new collaborative articles, you can still explore a wide range of existing articles.

What’s changed

  • We’re no longer creating new collaborative articles.

  • You can’t add new contributions or edit existing ones.

  • Notifications about collaborative article recommendations and contributions are stopped.

  • All existing collaborative articles and contributions are now read-only.

What hasn’t changed

  • You can still find and read the collaborative articles and contributions.

  • You can report collaborative articles if you believe it violates our professional community guidelines.

  • Contributors can still delete their past contributions.

Viewing collaborative articles and contributions

  • Browse this list of collaborative articles. Click the categories on the right side of the page to explore collaborative articles of a particular skill.

  • Search for skill-related keywords or specific 'how-to' questions in the LinkedIn search bar to find relevant skills page or collaborative articles.

  • Find collaborative articles on all search engine results outside of LinkedIn.

  • Find your contributions under Comments in the Activity section of your profile.

Interacting with collaborative articles

  • You can share, react to, and save collaborative articles like any post on your feed.

  • If you find a contribution helpful, you can like or react to the contribution. 

  • At the end of every article, you can rate the overall quality of the article to help LinkedIn improve the content experience.

  • You can also report a contribution or the entire article if you believe it violates our Professional Community Policies.

Tracking your contribution performance

You can monitor the performance of your contributions by checking the total view count under it. This count reflects the total number of times a contribution has been viewed across LinkedIn. This information is only visible to the contributor.
