Welcome to the AuthoredUp platform!
Here's the good news: even without our browser extension, you can still utilize 80% of our features directly on the platform.
Dive into this guide to harness the full potential of AuthoredUp, regardless of whether you have the extension or not.
What can you do on the platform?
Accessing the Full AuthoredUp Editor
- Preview Posts: Visualize how your content will look once published.
- Hooks, Endings, and Snippets: Craft compelling beginnings with our hooks, create robust conclusions with our endings, and use snippets for efficient content creation.
- Add Formatting: Bold, italics, bullet points, and more – style your post for maximum impact.
Creating and Managing Drafts
- Start a New Draft: Go to Editor and begin writing a new post. If one of your drafts has already been opened, click "Close draft" and start writing.
- Edit Existing Drafts: Go to your "Drafts" section, select the one you want to modify, and make the necessary changes. Another way to acess one of your drafts is by going to the Editor and clicking "Open draft", then choosing the draft you want to continue working on.
- Sync with Extension: Drafts auto-sync between the platform and the AuthoredUp extension.
- Share Draft with Team Members: Tap on the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the Editor (≡), click "Share draft," and a pop-up window will appear. Choose teammates you want to add as collaborators on the draft.
- Add Tags: Organize your drafts more effectively by using tags. Click on the hamburger menu, and at the bottom, you'll see an option to add your tags. Choose existing tags or add new desired tags.
Accessing Content Analytics and Published Posts
- View all analytics data for your content and published LinkedIn posts.
- Access your content table.
- Remember, you need first to collect this data via the AuthoredUp extension.
Limitations of the AuthoredUp platform
Our platform editor, while powerful, doesn't directly connect to your LinkedIn account. This means:
- You can't tag profiles (individual or company pages)
- No autocomplete for hashtags or suggestions.
- Attachments such as a carousel, poll, video, etc., cannot be added (you can only add images, animated GIFs, and documents)
- You can't publish or schedule posts directly from the platform.
For these specific LinkedIn-centric features, you must connect to the LinkedIn editor or paste the text to LinkedIn.
On top of this, you can't collect LinkedIn content analytics; just access existing data.
Transitioning to the LinkedIn Editor
Clicking the "Continue on LinkedIn" button activates the AuthoredUp extension in blue mode, granting full feature access. This lets you seamlessly transfer content to LinkedIn for additional functionalities.
Extended Use for LinkedIn
You can also create content for:
- Bio section.
- "About Me" segment.
- Personal messages.
- Comments.
After drafting, manually copy and paste your text into the respective LinkedIn sections.
Managing Multiple Profiles
For those juggling multiple LinkedIn profiles, perhaps ghostwriters or content managers:
- AuthoredUp allows you to connect and manage multiple LinkedIn accounts.
- Switch between profiles seamlessly within the platform and keep content organized per account.
