Visibility of mentions and tags

Last updated: 11 months ago

When you mention or tag a member within an update on LinkedIn, you can select the audience who will see your update from the share box.

Here are some other tips on updates with mentions or tags:
  • Posts containing mentions or tags will be shared just like any other post.
  • The member mentioned will receive a notification on Linkedin.com and by email.
  • The post may be shared with the network of the person being tagged.
  • If you select the post visibility to be anything other than Public, the tags or mentions for anyone outside of the selected visibility settings will be removed.
Note: A member won’t receive a notification about the mention or tag if they have turned off their notification setting.
