How to Turn On Comments on LinkedIn (Posts, Articles, and Company Pages) — Step-by-Step

This guide walks you through **how to turn on comments on LinkedIn** across:

- **Personal posts**

- **LinkedIn articles and newsletters**

- **Company Pages (commenting and managing comments as a Page)**

Along the way, you’ll also learn what to do if comments are enabled but still not showing.

Before you start: what “turning on comments” actually means

On LinkedIn, comment settings are usually controlled **per post** (and in some cases per article/newsletter). Most of the time, you’re not toggling a global “comments on/off” switch—you’re changing who can comment on a specific piece of content.

Typically, LinkedIn gives you options like:

- **Anyone** (best for visibility)

- **Connections only / followers** (more controlled)

- **No one / comments off** (rarely ideal unless moderation is needed)

If you previously restricted comments on a post, you may need to edit that post’s settings to open them up again.

1) How to turn on comments on a LinkedIn post (personal profile)

On desktop (recommended)

1. Go to your **post** in the feed or on your profile.

2. Click the **••• (More)** menu in the top-right of the post.

3. Select **“Who can comment on your post?”** (wording may vary slightly).

4. Choose **Anyone** (or the audience you want).

5. Confirm and exit.

On mobile

1. Open the **LinkedIn app** and locate the post.

2. Tap **••• (More)**.

3. Tap **“Who can comment?”**

4. Select **Anyone**.

#### Quick check

If you’re trying to increase engagement, “Anyone” is usually the best setting—especially for posts meant to reach beyond your network.

2) How to turn on comments for LinkedIn articles (and newsletters)

LinkedIn articles (including newsletter editions) have their own engagement surface. If comments aren’t appearing, it’s often because:

- Comments were **limited/disabled** on that article

- You’re viewing as a different identity (personal vs Page)

- There’s a visibility or moderation constraint

To enable comments on an article/newsletter (desktop)

1. Go to your **profile** and find the article under **Activity** or **Featured**.

2. Open the article.

3. Click **••• (More)** near the article controls.

4. Look for comment-related options (e.g., **manage comments**, **turn off comments**, or similar).

5. If comments are off/limited, switch them back to **allow**.

> Note: LinkedIn may label this as “Turn off comments” when they’re currently on—so if you see that option, comments are already enabled.

If you can’t find the option

- Try opening the article on **desktop** (LinkedIn often exposes more controls there).

- Confirm you’re logged into the **same account** that published the article.

3) How to turn on comments when posting as a Company Page

Company Pages can both **publish posts** and **interact** (react/comment) as the Page. The comment settings for a Page post are usually similar to personal posts—but you must be acting as the Page to manage them.

Step A: Switch to acting as your Page

1. On LinkedIn, open your **Company Page**.

2. Use the profile/Page switcher to **act as the Page**.

Step B: Enable comments on a Page post

1. Find the Page post.

2. Click **••• (More)** on the post.

3. Open comment settings (e.g., **who can comment**).

4. Set to **Anyone** (or your preferred audience).

Step C: Comment as your Company Page (so you can respond in the right voice)

If you’re trying to reply to comments *as the brand* (not as a personal profile):

1. Ensure you’re **acting as the Page**.

2. Open the post.

3. Type your reply in the comment box and publish.

This is especially useful when multiple admins manage engagement and you want the discussion to clearly come from the organization.

4) If comments are “on” but you still can’t see or get them

Here are the most common causes—and what to do.

1) You limited comments to a smaller audience

If the post is set to **Connections only** (or a similar restriction), people outside that audience can still *see* your post in some cases but may not be able to comment.

**Fix:** Change the post’s **Who can comment** setting to **Anyone**.

2) You’re viewing as the wrong identity (personal vs Page)

Admins often forget they’re browsing as themselves, not the Page (or vice versa). That can hide certain moderation controls.

**Fix:** Switch to the correct identity, then re-open the post settings.

3) Comments were filtered, hidden, or moderated

LinkedIn may automatically filter comments it detects as spammy or sensitive. Page admins can also hide or report comments.

**Fix:** Check your Page admin tools / moderation views and confirm comments haven’t been hidden.

4) The post is an ad (sponsored) or has special settings

Some sponsored formats or managed campaigns may have different interaction settings.

**Fix:** Review the post type and campaign settings (if applicable).

5) Temporary platform/UI differences

LinkedIn frequently updates labels and menus. If your interface looks different from a tutorial, the setting is usually still in a **••• menu** near the post/article.

**Fix:** Use desktop and look for any comment-related items under **More**.

Practical best practices (so you don’t need to “turn them back on” later)

Keep comment access broad—then moderate lightly

For most creators and brands, turning comments off is a last resort. A healthier approach:

- Keep comments open to **Anyone**

- Hide/report truly harmful comments

- Reply to genuine questions quickly

Make replying sustainable

If you’re posting consistently, comment replies can become the bottleneck. A simple workflow helps:

- Block 10–15 minutes after posting to respond

- Save a few reusable response patterns (thanks + question, clarify + resource, agree + add context)

- Maintain a consistent voice (especially if multiple people manage a Page)

If you’re trying to stay visible without spending hours in the comments, tools like [PRODUCT_LINK]Meet Lea[/PRODUCT_LINK] can help you draft replies to LinkedIn comments in your own voice—so you can keep conversations moving while staying focused on higher-priority work.
