[One of a series on how to use a particular aspect of JD Supra's LinkedIn Legal Updates application. Also see: how to customize your legal updates.]

What: learn how to recommend, share, and save legal updates in LinkedIn.

How:

Every document in the Legal Updates app includes three sharing links (as highlighted above) next to doc title and byline. Here's how each link works:

1. Click Recommend Document if you want to share the doc in a network update. Doubtless you've seen variations on such a recommendation in LinkedIn before:

2. Click Share Document to either send the doc to one of your LinkedIn groups, share only with particular individuals, or to feature as an update on your own profile.

Once you click "Share," a pop-up window walks you through the three choices (you're able to do any combination, or all at once):

3. Click Favorite to save the document for future reference in your own library of interesting content. (A favorite feature of mine, no pun intended.)

Access this list of interesting work at any time by clicking the "Favorites" tab within the Legal Updates application, as shown below:

All of  these sharing functions (among others) are also available as you browse specific law subjects in the Legal Updates app:

This partnership is an exciting development and our firm is going to make the most of the tool in LinkedIn. We especially like the recommend function, that way our lawyers can recommend the work of their firm peers who are creating content for JDSupra. It will really power up cross selling.
