LinkedIn announced that it simplified its account and settings dashboard, making it easier for users to manage their presence on the professional networking site. More from principal product manager, international Nico Posner on the LinkedIn Blog:

What’s new? A top section highlighting important information about you and your LinkedIn account; a bottom section organizing settings into four tabs to reduce vertical scrolling, and updated content to help you understand what each setting is about; and popular FAQs related to settings, along with a link to the help center for more information, and a feedback tool to provide us with your comments and suggestions.

The above changes not only highlight your key LinkedIn account information at a glance, but also direct you to the right information you’re looking for (whether it be profile, applications, or email preferences page). For those who still have lingering questions, we have incorporated a brand-new FAQ section that should help.

We’ve also added a new modal layer design for many of these settings, which surfaces your options as you click through them instead of taking you to a whole new page. Fewer clicks let you change your settings faster.

And finally, from a design perspective, we’ve made the Accounts section flexible should your account have additional elements, while elevating key components you’re likely to be looking for.
