Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable profile update notifications on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to turn off profile update notifications on LinkedIn so your network isn't alerted every time you make a change. You can disable notifications globally or target specific sections like Education using the Notify Network toggle.

Steps

Click your profile icon on the top menu of your LinkedIn dashboard.
Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown menu.
Under Visibility settings, go to Visibility of your LinkedIn activity and select the Share job changes, education changes, and work anniversaries from profile option.
Switch OFF the toggle button to stop broadcasting all profile updates to your network.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling who sees your LinkedIn profile updates is essential for professionals making quiet career moves, updating credentials, or refining their profiles without triggering a wave of notifications. LinkedIn's profile update notifications are turned on by default, which means every edit can surface in your connections' feeds. Knowing how to disable the Notify Network toggle — either globally via Settings & Privacy or section by section — gives users precise control over their LinkedIn activity visibility. This is a must-know setting for job seekers, career changers, and anyone managing their professional brand discreetly.
