KEY: ✰ = NEW, ▲ = Update, 💀 RIP = Removed, ⛔ = Deprecated (available but not recommended or supported)
Let's Dive [In]:
_____________________________________________________
💀 RIP [Community Top Voice badge] AKA the "Golden Badge" will discontinue the ability to earn them automatically through contributions to Collaborative articles (Ca).
If you currently have or earn a gold Community Top Voice badge before or on October 8, please note that it will expire within 60 days from when it was awarded.
There are no changes to our Top Voice (blue badge) program, which is invitation-only and led by LinkedIn’s editorial team.
WHY: I heard [in] was getting some blowback from the [Blue] Badges. They felt the [Gold] looked more prestigious, Quality on Contribs were dismal, and many [Gold] Badge earners were gaming/cheating the system. It had to go.Some thought Ca was being used to train AI but it wasn't.
As an OpenAI BETA tester since 2021, I am aware that basically anything posted on the internet openly is used as training content for AI. [in] couldn't legally use Ca for that purpose because it conflicted with the UA & Privacy Policy with its Members (thats why they are revamping the UA & Privacy Policy plus adding in the Use for training AI Forced Opt[in] that is to go active in November, notice the future active dating).

✰ [Time Stamp] added to Comments; displayed in a static Hour/Minute/Second/XM
⫸ Use to be X hr(s), Day(s), Month(s), or Year(s) ago
⫸ Appears to be in the Viewers, not the Commenters, Time Zone
⫸ Has No Date info: No Day/Month/Year (D/M/Y)
This new display gets a bit confusing as [in] may construct an non linear order of Comments with their own relevancy algorithm. So a comment this morning may have a Time stamp of 6:30:00 AM and one from the Day before also at 6:30:00 AM. Then, if [in] finds the newest Comment more relevant, places it above the older comment, how do we to know which came first?
There needs to be a D/M/Y component to this Time Stamp.

▲ Premium (Rewrite with AI) now selects the best Hashtags (#) for your post in Pascal Case
Pascal Case requires the first letter of each word in the # to be capitalized. This is the most inclusive way to display #s and helps Site Readers for the visually impaired to read back the # in words and not by repeating back all the letters in a series. See how this looks form the Site Reader view.
Pascal is often confused by the term Camel Case which starts a # by making the first word lowercase, then capitalizing the first letter of each word that follows. #PascalCase vs #camelCase.
(Rewrite with AI) may choose up to 10 #s but averages 3 to 4 per post.

💀 RIP: Resume Builder with Keyword Insights will be discontinued on June 12th, 2024.
Within the next few months, there will be a Premium ✦AI-assisted Resume Builder tool (perhaps built on the same premise as the [✦AI-assisted Build a profile] that launched 04.24.2024).
Many noticed, about two months ago, access to [Build a resume] was removed from the More icon (…) options from our profiles.
We found a work-around access to [Build a resume] through this direct link:
Now here’s where it got a bit wonky, as we use to be able to upload a resume when we accessed this feature (now it just [Keyword check]s our Profile or previously saved Resumes).
Don’t despair, because we've not left you hanging; here’s 2 workaround HACKs to Upload your resume (that work now and might after June 12th):
1. Upload your Resume via Settings for future job applications
· Click the (Me▼) icon, found on right side of the Top menu
· Select (Privacy & Settings) from the Dropdown menu
· Click on (Data Privacy)
· Scroll down to (Job seeking preferences) and click on (Job application settings)
· Toggle (Save resumes and application data) to On
· Select (Upload resume)
2. Upload your resume during the job application process
· Search for a Job.
· Click on a Job title to view details
· Click (Easy Apply)
· Complete the required fields
· Under Resume (optional), select (Upload resume) to upload your resume
· Click (Submit application) when finished.
Note: Recommended Resume file size is less than 2MB and the file format must be either Microsoft Word or PDF
We hope this direct link and upload hacks work going forward or at least until the new Resume Builder is intro-ed in the next few months.

✰ [RSS Content sharing] from our LinkedIn page, AKA Company page allows Company page Admins to import posts from their organization’s RSS feeds, such as organization’s websites, to share in a post directly on your Page. Content sharing can help efficiently post content from external web sources to our LinkedIn Page and grow and engage your followers.
After you set up content sharing, you’ll be notified each time a new post from your RSS feed becomes available to post on LinkedIn. The drafted post will include a link to the original source and may include a preview image. You can review the drafted Page post and edit it as needed before publishing it on LinkedIn. Once published, the content will be shared with members on LinkedIn, like other Page posts.
As new content is added to your external source, it'll become available to post on your Page regularly. Note that there’s a daily limit, so if you have any new content posted on your RSS feed on a given day, you may not see all your content available to post on LinkedIn.
If there’s content you’d like to share that isn’t available to post with this feature, you can still create a new post for that content.
External source types that are currently supported include your organization’s websites, blogs, YouTube channels, and other RSS supported sources.
Important to know: Sources you submit to LinkedIn through this feature must only contain content that you and your organization have the right to post on LinkedIn and must not violate anyone’s rights, including intellectual property rights, or the Professional
Community Policies: Your use of this feature is subject to the LinkedIn Pages Terms. Review LinkedIn’s Copyright Policy to ensure the content you share is compliant.

✰ [Content credential] is based on the new C2PA standards to detect AI-generated Image, Video or Audio content and labeled it with the (cr) icon to keep LinkedIn safe, trusted, and professional.
With the advances in AI, there is great potential to create Deep Fake content from images to audio to video that are so real and believible. The info behind the (cr) icon could give us the technical fingerprint insights to decide whether to believe what we see & hear or not.
This icon will be added to all detected AI-generated videos or images, as we upload during the content creation flow and will be visible to all viewers of your content.
Clicking on the (cr) icon will display content credentials, such as: AI detection, Issued by, Issued to, and Issued on, so the viewer can decide it they trust it. These new changes are rolling out in the coming weeks and will help [in] keep digital information reliable and create a more transparent, secure environment for creators and members.

[Impressions] the estimated number of times your posts were seen on LinkedIn remains part of the Post analytics and this new addition supplements it.
