AuthoredUp Features

AuthoredUp’s focus is on bringing your LinkedIn post formatting to the next level with its built-in editor. What it offers:

Editor

The editor is where most users spend their time. It enhances LinkedIn’s native composer with rich formatting (bold, italic, bullet points, numbered lists, and emoji palettes) and adds a readability score and word count alongside the post.

A real-time preview shows exactly how the post will appear on desktop, tablet, and mobile, including where the “see more” cut-off lands. This last feature is important, as a hook that gets cut off at the wrong moment loses the reader before they engage.

Snippets let you save reusable blocks, such as CTAs, signatures, and special characters, and insert them with one click. It’s useful for creators who use a consistent sign-off or regularly link to the same resources.

Post Analytics

AuthoredUp’s analytics go well beyond what LinkedIn’s native dashboard shows.

These are the metrics that it covers:

• Total, median, and average impressions, engagement, and reactions across all your posts.

• Saves, shares, and reports tracked per post. These are metrics LinkedIn surfaces but most tools don’t collect.

• Posting heatmaps showing when your audience is most active by day and hour.

• Trend graphs showing which posts contributed most to your overall reach.

• Winning format analysis (images, documents, videos, and text) so you can see what actually works for your audience.

• Period comparison for measuring any two time ranges against each other.

• Audience insights for the most frequent themes and keywords in your content.

The team analytics on the Business plan add unified metrics across all connected profiles. This is useful for agencies or marketing teams tracking employee advocacy performance.

Hook and Post Ending Templates

AuthoredUp ships with over 300 hook and post ending templates accessible directly from the editor.

These aren’t AI-generated suggestions; they’re curated structural templates for opening lines and closing CTAs.

For creators who write their own content but sometimes struggle with how to start or finish, this is a practical shortcut.

Drafts

The drafts system is more capable than it looks. You can create drafts from the LinkedIn feed, from the extension directly, or on mobile.

Each draft can have tags, a status, and attached assets (images, PDFs, and links) so everything relevant stays in one place. The search and filter system means you can find any draft by keyword, tag, profile, status, or date without scrolling through a list.

Drafts feed directly into the calendar and publishing workflow. There’s no exporting or reformatting; write once and schedule when ready.

Content Calendar

Schedule posts for your LinkedIn profile, company page, and groups up to three months in advance.

The calendar gives you a full view of your content plan, and you can reschedule by adjusting dates directly without going back to the editor.

For published posts, clicking on any calendar entry shows the content, stats, and engagement. This is useful for reviewing what went live and how it performed without leaving the calendar view.

Saved Posts Library

When you install AuthoredUp, it imports your full LinkedIn saved post history, not just future saves.

The library is searchable by keyword or author and filterable by post type and date. For creators who habitually save good posts for inspiration, this turns a scattered bookmark list into an organized swipe file.

Text Metrics

Character count, word count, estimated reading time, and readability score are displayed in the editor for every post.

Although this sounds like a minor feature, it’s very useful for creators who care about post length optimization or readability consistency across their content.

1-Click Post Reuse

Any published post can be pulled back into the editor for reuse with AuthoredUp.

This is great for recycling evergreen content, refreshing a high-performing post, or repurposing it with a different angle.
