What is a LinkedIn post preview?

A LinkedIn post preview is a mockup of how a post will appear in the LinkedIn feed before you publish — your name and headline, the body text with its 'see more' truncation at ~140 characters on mobile (~210 on desktop), document carousel covers, and link unfurls. SherpaPost reproduces the exact cutoff so the hook still earns the click on a phone screen, where most LinkedIn views actually happen.

What's the LinkedIn post character limit?

LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post, but the feed collapses everything after ~140 characters on mobile (slightly longer on desktop) behind a 'see more' link. Long-form posts work well on LinkedIn — they just need the first two lines to do the persuading. SherpaPost marks the cutoff line and previews how the post looks both collapsed and expanded.

How is SherpaPost different from LinkedIn's own composer?

LinkedIn's composer shows you a rough draft view, not the feed view — line breaks, mention rendering, and link card layout often look different the moment you publish. SherpaPost previews the feed-rendered version, lets you A/B different hooks side by side, and uses AI to rewrite drafts in a more credible, less corporate voice. You still publish from LinkedIn — no API connection required.
