A LinkedIn Premium writing feature that reviews, shortens, or clarifies a post draft before you publish — polishing your own words instead of generating new ones.

LinkedIn Post Proofreader is a writing feature built into the LinkedIn post composer, available to eligible Premium members. It surfaced in September 2026 as the replacement for LinkedIn's earlier AI "post enhancement" tool, and LinkedIn describes it plainly: "Use Post Proofreader to review, shorten, or clarify a post draft before publishing." You pick one of the three options and it returns suggested edits in a pop-up you can accept — dropping the changes into your draft — or dismiss to keep your original wording, with a regenerate option for an alternative when available.
The design point is that it edits rather than generates. The tool it replaced would write or rewrite a post with AI; LinkedIn pulled that after a year of "AI slop" backlash and rebuilt the assist as polishing your own words, not manufacturing new ones. That keeps the output on the human-written side of LinkedIn's own AI-slop enforcement, since you are refining language you already wrote.
It is deliberately narrow, and worth knowing the limits before you lean on it. It supports English-language drafts only for now, manual editing is blocked while you review suggestions, and any suggestions you do not resolve disappear if you close the tool or discard the post. It also does exactly one job on exactly one network: it will not draft a post from a topic, it makes no image, video, carousel, blog, or newsletter, and it does nothing for any platform other than LinkedIn. Treat option behavior and availability as still settling — LinkedIn's Help Center is the source of truth.
Post Proofreader's job ends the moment your LinkedIn post is clean. That is a useful last-mile edit, but your best LinkedIn posts are worth far more than one impression on one feed — and re-typing each of them for Instagram, a YouTube Short, an X thread, a blog, and a newsletter by hand is where the hours go. [Kompozy](/) is the multiplication step. Take the post you just tightened, or the source behind it — a talk, a client story, a long-form article — into Kompozy and it becomes a full week of on-brand content instead of a single update.
Set a [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) so your voice and banned words carry across every output, then let Kompozy fan the idea out: a document-style [Carousel](/glossary/hyperframes) sized for LinkedIn, a captioned [Persona Short](/glossary/persona-shorts) or [Persona Frames](/glossary/persona-frames) video fronted by a face-locked avatar, [Clipped Shorts](/glossary/clipped-short) if the source was a video, an X thread, a blog expansion, and an email newsletter. [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) then schedules and publishes the set across the eight social platforms plus blog and email, each piece clearing a per-post review gate first. Proofreader makes one LinkedIn post read well; Kompozy turns that same idea into everything else you are expected to post — and keeps it consistent.
A LinkedIn Premium feature inside the post composer that reviews, shortens, or clarifies a draft before you publish. It shows suggested edits you can accept or dismiss, supports English-language drafts only, and edits your text rather than generating a new post.
No. It only polishes an existing draft — LinkedIn discontinued its earlier AI tool that wrote or rewrote posts. To generate a post from a topic or source, use a general LLM or a content engine like Kompozy, then publish it wherever you post.
No. It edits one LinkedIn draft on LinkedIn, one at a time. To repurpose the same idea into on-brand posts, carousels, and video across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and your blog and newsletter, use Kompozy.
It is included with LinkedIn Premium, so it requires a paid Premium subscription rather than a separate charge, and it currently supports English-language drafts only.
