The collaborative articles also provide a chance to gain an audience and grow following by commenting on the articles.

Premium users can now add a call-to-action button on their profiles, which provides a direct external link for bookings, appointments, or other conversions. This button follows users as they post, increasing engagement and conversions. The accessibility features on LinkedIn have also been improved, including text-to-speech functionality and real-time translations, making the platform more inclusive for all users.
