LinkedIn : Giving You More Choice Over Your Content on LinkedIn

Today over 160,000 posts are published on LinkedIn per week, providing insights and expertise on topics ranging from healthcare trends and machine learning, to leadership lessons and SEO tips. In order to continue fostering the sharing of knowledge and expertise, we've made some key enhancements for members who publish on LinkedIn -- most recently revamping the publishing platform to offer a cleaner writing experience and improving how long-form articles show up to relevant and target audiences across LinkedIn.

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide a professional environment that encourages you to share your perspectives and thoughts on professional issues, we will be rolling out the ability for you to directly manage the comments on your long-form articles. This added feature gives you the option to enable or disable comments.

Disable or enable comments on your articles

If you want to turn off comments on long-form articles, simply go to the Comment settings icon at the bottom and click 'Disable comments' after you've posted your article using our publishing platform on desktop. When you save your change, any existing comments will be deleted permanently. You have the control to turn commenting on or off at any time. While this is currently available for long-form articles only, we'll soon add the option to turn off comments on all of your LinkedIn posts.

We continue to encourage two-way conversations on LinkedIn, and for many members who publish, comments are a great way to start discussions and can lead to broader reach. At the same time, we want to give you greater choice in the types of conversations you have on LinkedIn.
