LinkedIn is busy making big changes to the LinkedIn profile page. Â Editing will now be done inline. Â Also, The Profile Strength measurement is at the upper right showing your progress as you improve your LinkedIn profile. Â LinkedIn has also made it much easier to turn off profile update notifications to your network.
The biggest change is the inline editing. Â Instead of having to click the little pencil icon to make edits, all editing is done instantly. Â By simply hovering over any section of your profile, you can make immediate changes to your LinkedIn profile:
LinkedIn has also made it much easier to add new sections to your LinkedIn profile. Â Instead of having to go to the upper left hand corner to add Projects, Courses, Publications, Patents, etc… it’s all front and center!
The Summary section also looks very different:
Here’s a before and after screenshot of the Experience section:
These updates certainly improve upon the ease of updating your LinkedIn profile. Â So far, Jeff’s profile is the first one we’ve seen with the new inline editing interface. Â This may be something LinkedIn is just trying out or it will get rolled out shortly.

Hello Donna,
Thanks for this information. It is just today that I have this profile form. I just added a work’s (group’s) experience but now I am a bit troubled: there is a button ‘drag to change position’ but this does not work. This experience I would like to place on 3rd of 4th place, not as first position.
Do you have any idea what I can do to change the position?
Kind regards,
Henny
I guess it’ll be nice when I see the changes but nothing yet for me Donna, I guess this might also explain why my Group image sometimes doesn’t show. While Linkedin plays with their scripts, it must be creating little glitches.
Thanks for the heads-up! 🙂
