Type-ahead search:

Prerequisites:

  • The user profile has set English as one of their profile languages.
  • The user profile follows your page.

Shorten a Mention

You can shorten inserted mentions while keeping the link to the LinkedIn profile or company page.

  • Cut at the end: Place your cursor at the end of the mention and press the Backspace key. This removes the last part of the name.

     

  • Cut at the beginning: Place your cursor before the @ symbol and press the Delete key (Windows) or Fn + Backspace (Mac). This removes the first part of the mention.

Example: @Max Alexander Mustermann can become @Max, @Max Alexander, @Alexander Mustermann, or @Mustermann. The person remains correctly linked.

 

X (Twitter)
