You can share a badge or award only if you received it, and only if your company has turned sharing on. If you can, **Share** appears at the bottom of the post on your feed. On some feeds it's just an upward-arrow icon.

1. On the post, select **Share**.
2. If you have a certificate for this recognition, **Share this recognition** opens. Choose:
   - **Post**: "Shares a link to this feed post."
   - **Certificate**: "The certificate image posted to LinkedIn. No feed link needed."
3. A warning says the post might be confidential to your organization. Check it's fine to share, then select **Confirm**.
4. Sign in to LinkedIn in the window that opens, if you aren't already.
5. In **You are about to share in LinkedIn**, add your own words under **Would you like to add something?** if you like.
6. Select **Post**.

You'll see "Successfully shared your post to LinkedIn". Select **Click here to view the post** to open it on LinkedIn. To change or delete it later, do that on LinkedIn.

## If something goes wrong

**You don't see Share.** You didn't receive this badge or award, or your company has turned sharing off. Greetings and other posts can't be shared.

**"Share to LinkedIn failed. Please try again."** LinkedIn didn't accept the post. Try again in a few minutes.

**"As a demo user you are not eligible to share award post to LinkedIn."** Sharing doesn't work on demo accounts.

These steps are for the web. Sharing isn't available in Microsoft Teams.
