If you manage a business or corporate LinkedIn Page and want to share a post written by an individual, the process depends on your admin role and how the original post was created.
That sounds like it should be simple.
It is not always simple.
LinkedIn treats personal profiles and Company Pages differently. The repost option can change depending on your admin role, the original post’s visibility, whether the post came from a person or a Page, and whatever LinkedIn decided to move around this week because consistency was apparently too much to ask.
The steps below show what actually works in practice.
This is the kind of small platform problem covered in ABC-eFlow Tips, Tricks & Quick Fixes: not a grand business strategy, just the practical steps that save time when a platform makes something harder than it needs to be.

The Short Version
Use the direct repost method when LinkedIn gives you the option to post as your Company Page.
Use the manual link method when the repost or share option does not behave, does not show your Page, or gives you less control than you need.
| Situation | Best method |
|---|---|
| You see the Repost or Share option and can choose your Company Page | Use the direct repost method |
| You do not see your Company Page as an option | Use the manual link method |
| You want more control over the caption and preview | Use the manual link method |
| The original post has restricted visibility | You may not be able to repost it cleanly |
| You are not a Page admin | You cannot post as the Company Page |
What You Need Before You Start
To repost or publish content as a LinkedIn Company Page, you need admin access to that Page.
In most cases, you need to be one of these:
- Super Admin
- Content Admin
If you only have personal profile access, you can share the post as yourself, but you cannot publish it as the Company Page.
That is the first place to check when the option is missing.
If you manage client pages, business profiles, scheduling tools, or account access, this sits in the same operational bucket as Tools for Running Side Gigs. It is not glamorous work, but it is the kind of admin detail that keeps small online work from turning into a mess.
Option 1: Repost Directly as the Company Page
Use this method when the repost or share button gives you the option to choose the Company Page.
This is the cleanest method when it works.
Best for
- Company Page admins
- quick reposts
- sharing someone else’s post directly to the company feed
- posts where the original content should remain clearly attached
Steps
- Log in to LinkedIn using the personal profile that has admin access to the Company Page.
- Find the post you want to repost.
- Click Repost or Share, depending on the interface LinkedIn shows you.
- Choose Repost with your thoughts if you want to add a company comment above the shared post.
- Look for the dropdown near your name or posting identity.
It may say something like:
Posting as: [Your Name]
or:
Sharing as: [Your Name]
- Click that dropdown.
- Select your Company Page.
- Add a short comment from the company’s point of view.
- Click Post.
The post should now appear on your Company Page feed.
Option 2: Copy the Post Link and Create a New Company Page Post
Use this method when the direct repost method is not available or does not give you enough control.
This is often the more reliable method.
It is less elegant, but elegance left the building somewhere around LinkedIn’s third interface redesign.
Best for
- posts where the Share or Repost option is missing
- posts where your Company Page does not appear as a posting option
- cases where you want to control the company caption
- posts where you want a cleaner business context
- avoiding weird repost formatting
Steps
- Go to the individual LinkedIn post you want to share.
- Click the three-dot menu near the top-right of the post.
- Select Copy link to post.
- Go to your Company Page.
- Click View as admin.
- Start a new post from the Company Page.
- Paste the copied LinkedIn post link into the post field.
- Wait for LinkedIn to generate the preview.
- Add your own company commentary above the link.
- Click Post.
This creates a new Company Page post that points to the original LinkedIn post.
It is not quite the same as a native repost, but it is often more predictable.
This kind of workflow matters for people doing marketing support, virtual assistant work, basic content management, or light client admin. Those jobs fit better under Online Freelance Side Gigs Overview than quick-cash work, because the value comes from knowing how to handle repeatable platform tasks without making the client babysit every step.
Why the Share Button Sometimes Disappears
The Share or Repost option may not appear for several reasons.
Common causes include:
- the original post has restricted visibility
- the original poster limited who can see or share it
- you are not a Super Admin or Content Admin
- LinkedIn does not allow that specific post type to be reposted cleanly
- you are viewing the post from the wrong account mode
- LinkedIn is being LinkedIn
That last one is not technical documentation. It is just experience.
Which Method Should You Use?
Use Option 1 when the post is clearly shareable and LinkedIn lets you choose the Company Page.
Use Option 2 when anything feels flaky.
For regular Company Page management, Option 2 is often the safer workflow because it gives you more control over the post text, framing, and preview.
For small local businesses, simple platform management can also become part of a local service side gig. Many owners do not want to wrestle with LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, basic posting workflows, or admin permissions. They just want the post to show up in the right place without ten rounds of confusion.
What to Write When Sharing Someone Else’s Post
Do not just repost with no context unless the original post already speaks perfectly for the company.
Add one or two sentences explaining why the company is sharing it.
Good company repost commentary should answer one of these:
- Why does this matter to our audience?
- What should readers notice?
- How does this connect to our work?
- Are we agreeing, adding context, or highlighting someone else?
Example:
Useful breakdown from [Name]. This is exactly the kind of issue teams run into when managing LinkedIn Company Pages across multiple admins.
Or:
Sharing this because it explains a common platform gap that is easy to miss until you are the person responsible for posting from the Company Page.
Keep it short. This is LinkedIn, not a hostage note.
Common Mistakes
Reposting as yourself by accident
This is the most common mistake.
Before posting, check the identity dropdown. Make sure it says the Company Page name, not your personal profile.
Assuming all posts are shareable
They are not.
Some personal posts cannot be reposted cleanly because of visibility settings or post type.
Forgetting to add context
A silent repost usually performs worse and gives followers no reason to care.
Using the manual link method without waiting for the preview
After pasting the link, wait for LinkedIn to generate the preview before posting. Otherwise, you may end up with a plain ugly URL.
Expecting LinkedIn’s interface to stay the same
It will not.
The labels may say Share, Repost, Repost with your thoughts, or something slightly different depending on where you are in the interface.
Final Answer
To repost someone’s LinkedIn post as a Company Page, try the direct Repost / Share as Company Page method first.
If that option is missing, unreliable, or does not show your Company Page, copy the post link and create a new post manually from the Company Page admin view.
That manual method is often the most consistent.
It is not elegant.
It works.
The bigger lesson fits the ABC-eFlow Method: document what actually works, separate clean steps from platform nonsense, and do not pretend every small task is a business model by itself.
I’ll continue documenting platform quirks like this as I run into them. If something changes or breaks, I’ll update this guide.
No hype. Just what actually works.
