Carousel posts is probably going the most important elimination, with carousels producing good ranges of engagement for a lot of customers.

LinkedIn customers had been posting makeshift carousel posts for a while, utilizing its PDF attachment choice, with every web page proven as a person, scrollable body, earlier than LinkedIn added a local carousel posting choice in July final yr.
