By Kevin D. Turner @ TNT Brand Strategist LLC

Who would have imagined that we could have maxed out the Newsletter Article size limits and had to make a PART II? The first 65 NEW LinkedIn Features for 2023 may be found in PART I.

Thank you to all the Eagle Eyed & Sharing Hearts that help me in curating this #NEWLinkedInFeature(s) List, as the pinnacle resource for those who want to keep up with the advances of LinkedIn!

Most LinkedIn Rollouts follow a standard 5 Waves: Randomized, Staggered, Timed, & Increasing in Size, so that LinkedIn can evaluate, adjust, sometimes eliminate, and ultimately to reduce any negative impact, unpredicted loads or code collisions that might blow up the platform. Usually a clean rollout is 30 to 90 Days to complete.

Welcome, to PART II of the 4th Annual Edition of the Crowd Sourced & Continuously Evolving #NEWLinkedInFeature(s) Series:
