REMOVING A CONTACT
After you remove a contact, you can’t recover it, so give some extra thought before you remove contacts.
You can remove any contact by following these steps:
1. Log into LinkedIn and then click Contacts. Your browser refreshes to show the contacts page. Notice the buttons to add and remove connections
in the upper right corner of the browser window.
2. Click the Remove Connections button. The Remove Connections page appears.
3. Select the check box to the left of each connection you want to remove. If you have lots of connections, you have to scroll through them. You
can remove multiple connections by clicking Multiple Contacts.
4. Click the Remove Connections button. A dialog box appears, listing the connections you’re about to remove. Note the warning that the action cannot be undone.
5. Click the Yes, Remove Them button. The contacts are permanently removed from your connections list.
MODIFYING A CONTACT’S INFORMATION
The additional information is visible only to you when you select their profile from your contacts.
To modify a contact’s information, follow these steps:
1. Log into LinkedIn and then click Contacts. Your browser refreshes to show the Contacts page.
2. Click the icon of the contact whose information you want to modify. The contact’s information appears on the right site of your browser window.
3. Click the Edit Details link. Your contact’s information opens in another window.
4. Add some information. You can add another telephone number, addresses, or the contact’s birthday.
5. Click Save Changes. The changes are saved to your copy of your contact’s profile.
TAGGING CONTACTS
To segregate all your business contacts, create a Business tag.
To manage your contacts with tags, follow these steps:
1. Log into LinkedIn and then click Contacts. Your browser refreshes to show the Contacts page.
2. Click Manage. The Manage Tags window appears.
3. Enter the tag in the text field. Create a tag that fits several of your contacts. Your goal is to organize, not create more clutter.
4. Click the Add New Tag button. The tag is added to the list.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add tags as needed.
6. Click the Finished button. Your new tags are added to the list.
To delete a tag, click the little letter x to the left of the tag name in the Manage Tags window and follow the prompts to remove the tag.
After you add new tags, it’s time to organize your contacts.
To apply a tag to a contact, follow these steps:
1. Log into LinkedIn and then click Contacts. Your browser refreshes to show the Contacts page.
2. Click a Contact’s icon. The contact’s information appears on the right side of the browser window.
3. Click the Edit Tags link. A dialog box opens, showing all tags you’ve created.
4. Select the check box for each tag that applies to the person. You can also add a tag by clicking the plus sign (+) and following the prompts.
5. Click Save. Your changes are saved.
After you edit tags for each contact, you see the number of contacts listed under each tag on the left side to your Contacts page. To see all contacts listed under that tag, click the tag.
