LinkedIn retires AI rewriting: Post Proofreader marks up your draft with inline Review, Shorten and Clarify suggestions
LinkedIn has replaced its AI post enhancement option with Post Proofreader. Social Media Today, which reported the launch on September 20, 2026, says the old option was removed last month. Instead of rewriting a draft, the new tool proposes inline Review, Shorten and Clarify edits; it is limited to eligible Premium members and currently supports English-language drafts only.
The enhance-your-post option is gone, and a proofreader has taken its place
According to a Social Media Today article by Andrew Hutchinson published on September 20, 2026, LinkedIn has launched Post Proofreader. It replaces the AI-powered post enhancement option that let members revise their updates with AI in-stream, and Social Media Today reports that the discontinued option was removed last month. LinkedIn's help page for the feature, opened on September 21, showed a last update three days earlier, placing it around September 18. The sources give no exact launch date and no exact removal date for the old option.
The background is LinkedIn's pressroom post of September 15, 2026, which said the company is replacing the enhance your post feature with tools that proofread and improve clarity without changing a member's voice. That post does not name Post Proofreader, mention a Premium requirement or address language availability; those details appear only on the help page.
Three options, inline change tracking, and nothing applied until you accept it
The help page labels Post Proofreader a LinkedIn Premium feature that helps, in the page's own words, "eligible Premium members" improve post drafts before publishing; it does not define which plans count as eligible. Suggested changes are shown before they are applied, with inline change tracking so the member can see what changed and stay in control of the content. Three options are offered: Review fixes spelling, grammar and punctuation errors; Shorten makes the post more concise while preserving its meaning; Clarify makes it easier to read and understand.
Edits appear inline, removed text is shown with strikethrough formatting, and nothing is applied until the member accepts it. Each suggestion can be accepted, dismissed, stopped or regenerated, with thumbs up or thumbs down feedback. The limits are on the same page: only one enhancement can be reviewed at a time, manual editing is not available while suggestions are under review, and unresolved suggestions are not saved if the proofreader is closed. There is no version history, no side-by-side comparison and no undo or redo. The feature currently supports English-language drafts only. The page also links to Use Post Proofreader and Post Proofreader FAQ.
Proofreading instead of rewriting: LinkedIn answers the AI slop backlash with product design
Social Media Today reads the change as LinkedIn rebranding AI post editing as proofreading: the tool improves the language of a post rather than generating an idea that did not originate with the user, and the report frames this as a response to growing community backlash against AI slop.
LinkedIn's own numbers show the scale of that backlash. Its September 15 post defines AI slop as low-effort, likely AI-generated content that may sound polished but lacks a clear point of view, unique perspective or substance. The same post reports a 40 percent reduction in views of content classified as AI slop and says more than 1 million members have used the Seems like AI slop button since its August launch; we covered those figures on August 22. LinkedIn also says it blocks hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts daily and has prevented billions of automated activities in recent months. Social Media Today adds that the reporting option was extended to comments earlier in September 2026, after being used more than 1 million times in under three weeks.
No geographic restriction, but Turkish-language drafts are not supported
The sources say nothing specific to Türkiye: no regional restriction and no country-by-country rollout schedule. Access is decided by language and plan. The help page says the tool currently supports English-language drafts only, so Post Proofreader does not work on a draft written in Turkish, and no date is given for Turkish support. Businesses producing Turkish-language content cannot use it for now.
The unknowns deserve the same clarity. Premium pricing, whether Premium plans sold in Türkiye count as eligible, whether the tool runs on mobile or desktop, and whether it works for Company Page posts appear in none of the sources. For B2B brands in Türkiye the message is the direction rather than the product detail: LinkedIn reports a 40 percent reduction in views of posts it classifies as low-effort content with no point of view. Fully automated text in company page and employee posts carries a reach risk the closer it gets to that definition; this inference rests on LinkedIn's own statement, and the sources contain no measurement specific to Türkiye.
The UNALSOFT view
Our reading is this: LinkedIn's direction is a human voice plus AI proofreading. In our brand management work, social media copy is written by a person and AI steps in only as a proofreader for language and clarity; Post Proofreader brings that division of labor into LinkedIn's own product. For SMBs producing Turkish-language content the practical meaning is limited for now: the tool is restricted to English drafts and requires Premium, so the proofreading step for Turkish posts stays inside the team. Premium pricing and a language timeline are absent from the sources, so this article does not speculate on either.
