Automated excerpt
For starters, LinkedIn will now allow members to vouch for their colleagues and classmates, past or present. When pages remove the member profile from their page, it won’t change the member’s LinkedIn profile — that’s something members themselves will retain control over. Plus, LinkedIn will expand its partnerships with more companies to allow members to showcase their verified identities beyond LinkedIn.
