I can’t access my email for linkedin. Help! | members only

Keep in mind that LinkedIn does not permit multiple profiles. The company warns that the data associated with the account you want to merge will be purged from its database. As a precaution,

you can download a copy of the data on the account you’re about to close. Here’s how: Click the circled ME icon with your picture at the top of LinkedIn’s home page. From the drop-down,

choose SETTINGS & PRIVACY | DATA PRIVACY | GET A COPY OF YOUR DATA.  Next, click the type of data you want to download. Choose either DOWNLOAD LARGER DATA ARCHIVES, INCLUDING

CONNECTIONS, VERIFICATIONS, CONTACTS, ACCOUNT HISTORY, AND INFORMATION WE INFER ABOUT YOU BASED ON YOUR PROFILE AND ACTIVITY. Or select specific categories of data to download. After

deciding, choose REQUEST ARCHIVE. If you chose that larger download, LinkedIn will dispatch an email with a link. You will have 72 hours to fetch the data. Certain data will not be merged,

including profile content, endorsements, recommendations, pending invitations, and InMail credits. If you plan to merge accounts, remember to cancel any Premium subscriptions first. And be

aware that that you cannot download your account data onto a mobile device, so make sure the computer you are using is your own and not a machine in a public place. Moreover, since you can

only download your own data and not that of other LinkedIn members, you won’t see data associated with the People You May Know or Who’s Viewed Your Profile features. BONUS TIP: PERSONALIZED

YOUR LINKEDIN URL LinkedIn assigns a web address or URL to you when you sign up, visible to the public. But LinkedIn lets you customize the URL to something more succinct that may better

stand out on your resume or be easier to remember, important for job seekers. Click the ME profile, then VIEW PROFILE. Next to PUBLIC PROFILE & URL, click the pencil icon ✏️, then under

EDIT YOUR CUSTOM URL, click the pencil again. Type the new URL over the old one. It must contain three to 100 letters or numbers and not include spaces or special characters. If you’re

satisfied, hit SAVE. Note that you can change your public URL only five times within six months.
