Introducing the New LinkedIn Desktop

Today, were excited to share our new look! This complete overhaul of our technology architecture is the largest desktop redesign since LinkedIn's inception, and we've taken a thoughtful approach to ensure we're delivering a simplified LinkedIn experience thats more intuitive, faster and creates more value for our members.

With this change, we're also providing a seamless experience across mobile and desktop, leveraging all the great feedback we've received from our recent mobile app launch to make it even easier for professionals to quickly access the most relevant professional conversations, content and opportunities.

What can you expect?

More intuitive: we've dramatically simplified the design and navigation, so that theres one consistent experience across mobile and desktop. The new design is also built on a single-page application, which enables a snappy, cohesive, application-like experience. Unlike a traditional web application, you can expect smooth and seamless transitions as you engage with the site, since it doesn't require full page reloads.

Faster innovation: our new technology stack shares the same front-end API's as the LinkedIn mobile app and allows the release of new code three times a day. This means we can innovate much faster across platforms.

More valuable: we've made it much easier to discover relevant professional news and insights, quickly join professional conversations about your industry, and access new job opportunities.

Whats new?:

Streamlined navigation: There are now seven core areas on the navigation bar - Home (Your Feed), Messaging, Jobs, Notifications, Me, My Network, and Search. With one simple click on the more icon on the navigation bar you can also launch into other experiences that matter to you, like LinkedIn Learning.

Smarter messaging that helps you connect and unlock new opportunities: With our new real-time messaging interface, you can message a connection wherever you are on LinkedIn. Well also start serving up insights across the site to help you break the ice in any conversation and connect you to your next opportunity. For example, if you see a new job posting youre interested in, well suggest someone within your network who works at the company.

Richer Feed to keep you informed: With a combination of algorithms and human editors working together, we've fine tuned your Feed to surface the most relevant content from people and publishers you care most about. We'll also be adding new ways for you to dive deep into specific topics relevant to you and follow trending stories.

More intuitive search: You now have one universal search box to easily find people, jobs, companies, groups and schools. You can refine your search by using filter options on the right hand side, with the ability to search posts coming soon. Also, were investing further to better understand signals on what they searching for? Or who you are searching for so we can bring you the best results for any search query.

Greater insight into who's viewing your content: You can now see who's reading and engaging with the content you share, including the company, job title and location of the people who are interested in your updates.

Better suggestions to make your profile stand out: We've improved profile suggestions so you can more easily see what you need to do to look your best professionally, for example, suggested skills you should add to your profile based on what recruiters are searching for.

The new LinkedIn desktop experience will be rolling out globally to all members over the coming weeks.
