Where Does Saved Posts Go in LinkedIn
Two lists, one menu, and neither of them is where people look first. Saving is also the one interaction the author never sees.
Saved posts go to My items, reached from your profile menu or from the left column on desktop. Inside it, saved posts and saved jobs are separate tabs.
Saving is private. The author is not told, and the save does not appear under the post the way a like does.
If the author deletes the post, your saved copy disappears with it, because the list stores a reference rather than the content.
That last detail is the one that surprises people, and it follows from how the list is built.
My items is a bookmark list. It points at the original post and renders whatever is there now. Nothing is copied, nothing is archived, and nothing is yours.
So a post you saved because it was useful can quietly become an empty entry, or can change after an edit, and LinkedIn will not tell you either happened. For anything you genuinely need — a reference, a method, a link — copying the text somewhere you control is the only reliable version.
The privacy side is the other half. A save is invisible to the author. It is not counted in the engagement shown under the post, and it is not reported in the post's analytics to a personal profile.
That makes saving the safest interaction on the platform: you can keep a competitor's post, a job ad at your own company, or a salary thread, without any of it appearing in your activity or in anybody's notifications. Likes and comments are public acts; saves are not.
Where the list is
On desktop, the left column of the home feed has My items. On the phone, open your profile menu and look for the same entry.
Inside it, the tabs separate saved posts, saved jobs and other saved items such as courses.
The list is ordered by when you saved things, not by when they were published.
There is no folder structure and no tagging, which is why long lists become useless after a few months.
Saving and unsaving
The save control is in the menu on any post, next to report and copy link.
Saving a job uses the save control on the job page, and those land in the jobs tab.
Unsaving removes the entry immediately and tells nobody.
Saving the same post twice is not possible; the control toggles.
Why a saved post vanished
The author deleted it. The entry disappears rather than being greyed out.
The author's account was closed or restricted, which removes their content from view.
The post was in a group you left, or by someone who blocked you, both of which cut your access to it.
None of these are bugs, and none of them are recoverable from your side.
Saved jobs behave differently
A saved job keeps its own status: it can show as closed or no longer accepting applications rather than disappearing.
Applications you submitted live under the jobs area rather than under saved, which is a separate list worth knowing about.
Job alerts are a third thing again, and they generate email rather than entries.
Saving a job does not notify the recruiter and is not part of your application.
Using saves as a reading list
Because saving is silent and reversible, it works well as a triage step: save in the feed, read later, unsave when done.
For anything you will need in six months, copy the content out. The list is a pointer, not an archive.
If you save for research, note why in a document. The list gives you no context beyond the post itself.
And periodically empty it. An unmanaged save list is where good posts go to be forgotten.
Questions people ask about saved items
Where are my saved posts on LinkedIn?
In My items, reached from the left column on desktop or from the profile menu on mobile. Saved posts and saved jobs are separate tabs.
Can the author see that I saved their post?
No. Saving is private and is not shown under the post or in the author's analytics.
Why did a saved post disappear?
The original was deleted, or the author's account was closed or restricted. The list stores a link rather than a copy.
Is there a limit on saved items?
Nothing you will hit in normal use. The practical limit is that there are no folders, so long lists become hard to search.
Do saved jobs expire?
The entry stays but shows the job as closed once it stops accepting applications.
Does saving a post help its reach?
No. Saves are not counted as public engagement on LinkedIn, unlike likes and comments.
