Cheat Sheet to the New LinkedIn Interface

LinkedIn (Microsoft) has now unrolled the future. Get leaps ahead with this cheat sheet of changes.

1. All-Star Completion (Bubble has been "temporarily" removed. Should use mobile app to see your profile ranking). As far as I know, the requirements are still the same. The top reasons people are stuck at Advanced are generally a lack of one or more of the following: 1. a picture, 2. Over 50 connections, 3. A current position and two past positions listed 4. A summary
2. To add or edit the Summary you should click the pencil at the top right corner of the edit profile page. Many fields that were in the old top box, or in the summary are rolled into this one edit window such as the industry and location which is no longer displayed prominently by the headline.
3. Summary unfortunately takes a back seat in the new interface and will always be truncated. In the old platform, it was cut off in edit profile and edit summary modes. Now it is cut off in viewing, edit profile, and edit summary modes.
4. Endorsements are completely different. The functions you could do in one click in the old platform now take multiple clicks and are found in multiple places. You must add new skills one by one by clicking on the “add skill” button. You can click the pencil to edit them or rearrange them. You can click manage settings at the bottom of the Endorsement window to opt out. (3 different screens vs. the old single menu). The ability to uncheck selected individuals from certain endorsements has been removed.
5. The Endorsement Skills Pages are gone? In viewing mode (either of your own profile or someone else's) The skills listed in this section became hyperlinks that would lead you to comprehensive pages on each skill. This was helpful to see how rare or common each skill was, the statistics on how it was being used, and ways to sharpen the saw for that skill (IE: posts, slideshares, Learning courses, and potential connections). This has been broken in the upgrade and no longer is available on the user-end.
6. How You Rank section is "temporarily" unavailable in the new platform. Bummer!
7. Edit function for the Picture has been removed. You can now only upload, zoom, and position (no options to rotate or crop). Also, lock box has moved. When editing the picture toward the bottom right corner of the edit screen is a link stating if your picture is visible to their network or what the setting is. Options have changed to include: Connections, Network, Members (a new feature), or everyone
8. To add new sections like projects, etc…  You must click on the link to the left of the profile edit screen. There will be an option that says something like “Add section to profile.”
9. To edit your public profile you have to access it from a link in the left menu of the edit profile page (similar to the link in #6) it will say something like “Customize your Public Profile”
10. To edit your personal profile link, you must do #8. The new interface now has your personal link as your homepage link. The old one had different links, and your profile link sat on the main page under your picture.
11. The toggle switch for "notify my network" has been removed and now it is rolled into several different windows. For instance, if you update the mini sections at the bottom before you save should appear a link to notify the network about that specific change.
12. ADDED - A great new feature is you can now choose current position or education in top box. In the old interface the top box (by headline) displayed the latest position and education from your experience below. Now when you edit the top box, if you have multiple current positions or schools, you can pick from a drop-down the one you want to display on the top box by the picture and headline.
13. Many features have been removed from the front-end interface, such as: Advice for Contacting, 'View Profile as' (ability to view your profile in viewing vs editing mode), How You Rank (as mentioned above), Relationship tab, and the ability to search a specific first-connection's connections by keyword from their profile page.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING I MISSED - ADD IT BELOW IN THE COMMENTS. Let's help each other out here. Change of any kind is tough.
