We're adding new tools every day to make LinkedIn a more valuable experience, and we're also bringing back some features that you've been asking for. Here are a few of the latest ones for this month:

Customized Notifications: Keeping you in the loop and in control of the updates you see

Whether it's new milestones about your connections, to a Daily Rundown of trending news, or how you're being discovered in LinkedIn search each week, get your quick fix on the latest happenings in your network by going to the new customized notifications tab.

Best part? You now have full control over these notifications - simply mute or turn off notifications you no longer want to receive, or unfollow a connection so that you no longer see their updates in the notifications tab or in your Feed, but remain connected.

Photos in posts: When you can't choose just one...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then multiple images must be worth millions. You can now select up to nine photos to share in a single post so if you can't choose just one image to share from that great conference you attended, you don't have to!
