resolved Jun 23, 2023, 09:17 PM UTC

From early April to June 15, LinkedIn’s API marked posts scheduled from third parties like Employee Advocacy as successful, but the posts were not actually published to LinkedIn users. This only affected some customers’ posts. LinkedIn has accidentally published these posts from their system yesterday and today, which could result in outdated content or duplicate content appearing on your profiles. We’re working with our partners at LinkedIn on preventing this issue from happening again. In the meantime, your account may have been impacted by this issue. Please review your LinkedIn profiles to ensure only the latest content is visible.
