Formatting and preview - Carousify Docs

The writer’s top toolbar gives you the formatting controls LinkedIn supports. The right pane shows a live render of what the post will look like once it’s live.

LinkedIn doesn’t support real bold or italic in posts. Carousify converts your selections to Unicode lookalike characters that render the same way on every LinkedIn surface — but screen readers won’t pronounce them as styled text. Use sparingly for emphasis, not for whole paragraphs.

Live preview

The right pane is a pixel-accurate render of the post. The Devices toggle switches between three layouts:

Mobile — what most LinkedIn users will see
Tablet
Desktop

Always check Mobile before publishing. Most LinkedIn traffic is on phones, and posts that look good on desktop sometimes break mid-hook on a small screen if line breaks land badly.
