LinkedIn is now rolling out its Year in Review feature to all users, offering a personalized snapshot of platform activity throughout the year. The feature provides users with an engaging breakdown of their LinkedIn presence, helping them understand how active they’ve been in building professional relationships and sharing content. Users can access this summary by searching “LinkedIn Year in Review” in the app or tapping on the in-stream notification.
Comprehensive Activity Overview at a Glance
The Year in Review includes multiple metrics that paint a complete picture of your LinkedIn engagement. The feature tracks the number of connections made and followers gained, reveals where those connections work, and highlights job changes among your network. It also counts your posts and comments, certifications earned, and skills added, while reminding you when you first joined the platform. Additionally, the summary shows what time of day you’re most active, giving insights into your engagement patterns.
Discovering Your Most Valuable Connections
Beyond basic statistics, LinkedIn’s Year in Review identifies who you engaged with most frequently, helping you recognize your key connections. The feature even reminds you of your first connection when you created your profile. A character summary rounds out the experience, attempting to encapsulate your professional identity based on your LinkedIn activity and contributions.
While the Year in Review provides an attractive, engaging overview of your LinkedIn journey, critics note it offers limited practical value beyond basic engagement reminders. Features like tracking repeat profile visitors or recommending popular LinkedIn Learning courses within your industry could add more contextual insight. Nevertheless, it serves as a useful tool for reflecting on your professional networking efforts.
The Year in Review summaries are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
