And it is built based on your feedback. 👎👍

Two weeks ago, we launched version 2.0 and immediately got a ton of feedback - what is good, what is needed, what needs improvements, etc.

These are the things we addressed:

"I want to save my own templates"

One of the most voted features is saving your content, so you can use it whenever you need.

So we added a new tab called "Snippets."

This is where you can keep your signatures, CTAs, templates, mentions, and whatever other "snippets" of text you want and reuse them across posts.

"I want to hide the AuthoredUp badge."

You can hide AuthoredUp, similar to how you can reposition it. Grab it from the left side, and push it right until it disappears.

You will notice a thin green line when you move your mouse around where the AuthoredUp badge is hidden. Grab it, and pull it left. It will reappear again.

And if you want to do it from the app, go to the account page and click hide.

"I don't know how to use the drafts"

We noticed a bit of confusion around how drafts get loaded when they are saved, and what's up with those green and blue modes?!

We get it.

AuthoredUp is a bit more complex than similar tools.

So, we made some changes to reflect this paradigm better:

▶️ The top of the editor will now always show your draft.
▶️ The bottom will always show the active LinkedIn post "underneath" AuthoredUp.

Before: AuthoredUp is a small tool for writing posts on LinkedIn.

Now: AuthoredUp is an all-in-one LinkedIn content creation tool.

We are announcing AuthoredUp 2.0 🚀

From idea generation to writing posts, performance analysis, and content repurposing, we covered it all. 💪

How does it work?

• AuthoredUp studio
AuthoredUp is now available anywhere on LinkedIn instead of being integrated into LinkedIn's new post window.

• Drafts anywhere
Create drafts while scrolling through LinkedIn or use our web app if you are on the go.

• Hook templates
120+ hook templates with examples and tags. (And more templates to come)

• SAFE Content analytics
Collect all posts you ever published on LinkedIn. Opposite to other tools, we are NOT taking your cookie or automating any activity

• Post reuse
Filter your posts, find the best ones, and reuse them in one click.

👉 How do you like the new version?
👉 What do you think we should develop next?

💚 AuthoredUp 2.0 wouldn't be where it is today without our Insiders. We'd like to express our immense gratitude to all 42 of you. 💚

Here is what you can expect:

✅ AuthoredUp everywhere instead of just in the post editor.

✅ Fully redesigned drafts.

✅ Hook templates with examples.

✅ Safely collect ALL your published posts in one place. (Yes you read it right) 🦄

✅ Analyze post performance and identify the best ones.

✅ Reuse posts that are giving you the best results.

✅ Still in free beta. 😇

Why the name change? Read on!

5 months ago, we launched a small web extension to help people preview and add basic formatting to their LinkedIn posts.

The idea was to scratch our own itch and test if anyone else experienced the same issues.

The answer turned out to be an overwhelming YES. 🤗

8000 people are using AuthoredIn today.

In the process, we learned that post-editing is just the tip of the iceberg. 🧊

• How to generate post ideas?
• How to write engaging posts?
• How to get the highest ROI?
• How to build a content machine?

We want to help our customers with all aspects of building a social presence.

We don't want to be seen as one-more-LinkedIn-tool.

We started aligning with that vision a month ago with the launch of the AuthoredIn Platform.

And now, it is time to align our name as well.

Internally, we were always saying, "we want to empower people, to level them up."

So, welcome AuthoredUp. 🚀

What does this mean for you?

You can see the changes on our new website (authoredup.com) and in version 0.6.0 of the extension.

Everything else about the product stays the same.

You should experience no disruptions in your workflow, except you might need to log in on the site again.

We've released a minor version 0.5.1, with an important fix.

If you kept getting the red badge error, and don't have a profile picture on your account, please update and try again.

The lack of profile picture was preventing the extension from loading properly. 😅
