Since LinkedIn is such an important tool in many people’s professional lives, backing up the data in that account for safekeeping is a must.
Luckily, you don’t have to work so hard to get an archive of all your LinkedIn data; Social networks now provide the service, and accessing it is fairly easy. I’ll walk you through the process and you’ll have the archive stored on your computer in no time (it’s easier than deleting your LinkedIn connection, I can tell you that).
What will your LinkedIn archive contain?
Before we get to how you can get the archive, let’s see what the aforementioned archive will contain.
First of all, it will include account information, such as registration information, login history (including IP), email address and status history, as well as your account history. The latter will also tell you about closing and reopening the account.
The archive will also include some other information, like the names used on the accounts (including changes to them), a list of your first-degree relationships, the photos you’ve uploaded, claims received, skills you’ve listed, recommendations you’ve created and received, content you’ve contributed to groups, your search history, and content you’ve posted or interacted with (shared). share, like, comment). Interestingly, you’ll also be told which ads you clicked on, as well as the targeting criteria LinkedIn uses to show you ads.
Now see how you can download all this information in a beautiful ZIP archive format.
