On LinkedIn (web), open Saved items from the left sidebar or the “Me” menu to view your saved posts and articles.
Lost that great post you bookmarked earlier? Good news: you can open your saved posts and articles on the LinkedIn website in a couple of clicks. This guide shows every reliable route on desktop, plus quick fixes when something doesn’t show up, tips to sort and clean your list, and smart ways to keep your saves useful.
Fast Answer: Open “Saved Items” On The Web
On a computer, sign in at linkedin.com and use one of these quick paths:
- Home feed → Saved items: From your feed, look at the left column and click Saved items to jump straight to your collection.
- Me menu → Saved items: Click your profile picture (top-right) → choose Saved items.
- My items hub: Some layouts route saves through the My items page where you can switch to Saved posts or Saved articles.
LinkedIn tweaks layout from time to time, so you may see either “Saved items” or “My items.” Both lead to the same place: your saved content.
Finding Saved Articles On LinkedIn Web: Quick Steps
Method 1: Left Sidebar Shortcut
- Open Home on linkedin.com.
- In the left sidebar, click Saved items.
- Use the filter/tabs on that page to view Posts, Articles, and other saves.
This route is the fastest when you’re already browsing the feed.
Method 2: “Me” Menu Route
- Click your profile photo at the top-right (Me).
- Select Saved items.
- Pick the content type you want to revisit, such as Saved posts or Articles.
Use this path if the left column looks different or you’ve hidden parts of the feed.
Method 3: My Items Hub
- From the top navigation, open Jobs (any LinkedIn layout works).
- Click My jobs; you’ll land on the My items page.
- In the left pane, switch from My jobs to Saved posts and browse your saves.
This view groups saved jobs and content in one place. Handy if you bookmark both job listings and posts.
Save, Unsave, And Keep Things Tidy
How To Save An Article Or Post On Desktop
- On any post or article preview, click the ••• icon.
- Choose Save. The bookmark icon confirms it’s saved.
How To Unsave
- Open your Saved items.
- Click the Saved bookmark on an item or open ••• → Unsave.
Privacy Of Saved Items
Your saves are private. Other members can’t see what you’ve bookmarked. That keeps your reading list and research tidy without broadcasting it.
Quick Troubleshooting On Desktop
The Sidebar Link Isn’t There
- Use the Me menu: Click your profile photo → Saved items.
- Open the My items hub: Go to Jobs → My jobs → switch to Saved posts.
- Resize the window: On narrow browser widths, LinkedIn hides parts of the left column. Maximize the window to reveal the link.
“Saved Items” Opens But Looks Empty
- Check filters/tabs: Switch between Posts, Articles, and other types.
- Refresh the page: Use Ctrl + R (Windows) or Cmd + R (Mac).
- Clear stale session data: Try a private window or another browser profile.
- Confirm you saved it: On the original post, the bookmark icon should show as saved; if not, save again.
Saved Jobs Vs. Saved Posts
Jobs live in the same general area but often open first under the My jobs tab. Switch to Saved posts or Articles to see content saves.
Smart Ways To Work With Saved Content
Use A Light Tagging Habit
LinkedIn doesn’t offer folders for saved posts. A workaround: add a short comment to yourself before saving (for your eyes only, as a draft) or leave a note in your task app with the LinkedIn link and a tag like “ideas,” “client stats,” or “how-to.” It takes seconds and pays off later.
Set A Monthly Cleanup
Open your saves at the end of the month and remove items you don’t plan to use. Keep only posts you’ll reference in the next quarter. This keeps the list snappy and reduces scrolling.
Capture Key Data Outside LinkedIn
When a post includes a chart, metric, or quote you’ll cite later, copy the vital bit to your notes with a link back to the post. That way you still have the fact if the original is edited or removed.
Save From Comments, Too
Great templates, checklists, and links often live in the replies. Use the same ••• menu on comment permalinks to keep those handy.
Keyboard And Browser Shortcuts That Help
- Open Saved items fast: Bookmark the page once you’re there so you can jump in with Ctrl + B then type its name.
- Search within your saves: Use your browser’s find box (Ctrl + F / Cmd + F) to jump to keywords on the page you’re viewing.
- Copy clean links: Right-click a post’s timestamp to copy its permalink without extra tracking parameters.
Organize Saved Posts With A Simple System
The “Three Bucket” Rule
Give each saved item a purpose. Use three light buckets:
- Learn: Research, industry reports, long reads.
- Use: Templates, how-tos, tool tips you’ll apply soon.
- Share: Posts you plan to comment on or reference in your own content.
Copy the link into your notes beneath one of those headings. You’ll know exactly where to look later.
Close Variant: Find Your Saved Posts On Desktop With These Routes
Here’s a compact map you can skim before you start clicking around.
Quick Paths Table
| Entry Point | Desktop Path | Best When |
|---|---|---|
| Left Sidebar | Home → Saved items → Posts/Articles | You’re already on the feed |
| Me Menu | Me (profile photo) → Saved items | Sidebar is hidden or narrow |
| My Items Hub | Jobs → My jobs → My items → Saved posts | You switch between jobs and posts often |
When The Page Still Won’t Load
Try A Clean Session
- Open a private window (Incognito) and sign in again.
- If it appears there, your main profile’s cache or an extension may be the blocker.
Disable Aggressive Extensions
Ad-blockers, script filters, or privacy add-ons can hide UI modules. Temporarily disable them on linkedin.com and refresh. If that fixes it, add a site-level allow-list entry.
Check Work Network Rules
On a managed device, some content is blocked by policy. If your saves never load on a company laptop but work at home, that’s your clue. Use a personal browser profile for LinkedIn browsing.
Best Practices For Long-Term Use
- Act while it’s fresh: If you saved a post to comment on later, add your comment the same day so the thread is still active.
- Pair with a reminder: Drop the link into your task app with a due date so you follow through.
- Export ideas monthly: Gather the month’s best items into a doc with short notes. That becomes a personal swipe file you can search.

Wrap-Up: Your Saves, Two Clicks Away
