Manage comments for LinkedIn sponsored posts

Last updated: 3 months ago

As a LinkedIn Page super or content admin, you can manage comments for sponsored posts.

You must create a Sponsored Content ad set or have an existing Sponsored Content ad set to manage comments on a sponsored post.

To manage comments on a sponsored post:

  1. Go to the Set up Ads page in Campaign Manager.

    • New ad set - If you're creating a new ad set, you'll go to the Set up Ads page after selecting the settings for your ad set.
    • Existing ad set - To add an ad to an existing ad set, you can edit the ad set to go to the Set up Ads page.
  2. To turn off comments on a post, click the More  icon on the right side of the ad and select Show in feed from the dropdown menu.

    • In the feed preview, click the More  icon in the upper-right corner of the post and select Who can comment on this post? from the dropdown menu.
    • In the Who can comment on this post? dialog, select No one, then click Save. This will turn off comments for both Sponsored Content and organic posts.

    Important to know

    • Desktop and LinkedIn mobile app - If comments are turned off after you share a post, any existing comments on that post aren't deleted.
    • LinkedIn mobile app (iOS) - If comments are turned off after you share a post, any existing comments on that post are deleted. Turning comments on won't restore deleted comments.

  3. To delete a specific comment on a sponsored post, click the More  icon next to an individual comment and select Delete.

    • Any deleted comments cannot be restored.
