AuthoredUp

What is AuthoredUp?

AuthoredUp is an all-in-one LinkedIn tool to draft, format, preview, and publish or schedule posts. The platform also provides analytics and tools for reviewing and organizing past and saved content.

It’s built around a Chrome extension workflow, with a dashboard that centralizes editing, calendar planning, post management, and performance insights in one place.

Key Features

• Editor with formatting and preview: Format drafts with bold, italic, and emojis, then check a preview before publishing.
• Drafts for later publishing: Save posts as drafts and prepare them for posting or scheduling from the editor.
• Calendar view for planning: See published and scheduled posts in a centralized calendar to plan content across time.
• Posts table with filtering: Access your content list and filter posts by type, account, or tags.
• Analytics for impressions and engagement: Monitor impressions and engagement, review a growth timeline, and analyze individual post performance.
• Saved posts library with export: Access saved LinkedIn posts (including those saved before installing AuthoredUp), filter by keywords or authors, and export to CSV for analysis in external tools.
• Content inspiration templates: Use a collection of hooks/snippets and CTA templates to support ideation and structuring.

How to Use AuthoredUp

1. Try AuthoredUp (the site indicates a free trial with no credit card required).
2. Draft a post in the editor, applying formatting options (e.g., bold/italic and emojis) and checking the preview.
3. Save to drafts if you’re not ready to publish immediately, or proceed to publish/schedule from the editor.
4. Plan with the calendar and manage your posting workflow from a single view.
5. Review performance in analytics (impressions/engagement, growth timeline, and per-post analysis) and use the saved posts library to revisit content patterns.

Use Cases

• Publishing consistently from a single workflow: A LinkedIn creator drafts posts with formatting and preview, then publishes or schedules without switching between separate tools.
• Planning posts across multiple days: A user uses the calendar view to see what’s already scheduled and what still needs to be posted.
• Improving future content using performance signals: After publishing, the creator checks analytics for impressions and engagement, uses the growth timeline, and compares periods to understand what to focus on next.
• Repurposing and refining ideas from saved content: A marketer reviews saved posts, filters by keywords or authors, and exports results to CSV for deeper analysis.
• Running posting workflows for more than one page/account: A user who manages multiple LinkedIn profiles or company pages can filter posts by account and keep production in one editing and analytics area.

FAQ

Does AuthoredUp help with drafting and formatting, not just analytics?

Yes. The editor includes formatting options (bold, italic, emojis), a preview step, and draft saving before publishing or scheduling.

Can I schedule posts from AuthoredUp?

Yes. The site describes publishing and scheduling directly from the editor and shows scheduled items in the calendar view.

What analytics does AuthoredUp provide?

AuthoredUp includes impressions and engagement insights, a growth timeline, and the ability to analyze individual post performance.

Can I export saved posts for analysis elsewhere?

Yes. Saved posts can be exported to CSV, which can then be analyzed using tools such as Excel and other third-party AI tools.

Where is data hosted, and how is privacy handled?

The site states that AuthoredUp does not collect cookies, is GDPR-compliant, and that data is hosted in Germany using European-owned cloud infrastructure.

Alternatives

• Native LinkedIn posting tools plus spreadsheets: Use LinkedIn’s built-in compose/scheduler features and track performance in spreadsheets manually, trading centralized analytics and formatting workflow for simpler setup.
• Social media management platforms: Tools that combine scheduling, calendars, and analytics across networks can replace the calendar and analytics portions, though they may require moving between different editors and workflows.
• Content planning tools with basic analytics: Some planners focus on ideation and scheduling; compared to AuthoredUp, they may offer less detailed post-level performance review and saved-post analysis/export.
• Browser-based productivity tools for drafting: Writing tools that help format and draft text can substitute for the editor workflow, but typically won’t provide LinkedIn-specific analytics and saved-post management in the same way.
