# Importing your LinkedIn export

> Request your LinkedIn data export and upload it so Prozly learns your personal writing voice.

Uploading your LinkedIn export is one way to teach Prozly your personal voice, without installing the [Chrome extension](/guides/chrome-extension). See [writing samples](/guides/brand-voice#personal-voice-writing-samples) for the other options.

## 1. Request your export from LinkedIn

1. Open [Get a copy of your data](https://www.linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/download-my-data) on LinkedIn. You can also get there from your photo (**Me**) at the top, then **Settings & Privacy → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data**.
2. Choose **Download larger data archive**. This is the option that includes your posts.
3. Click **Request archive** and confirm with your LinkedIn password.
4. Wait for LinkedIn's email "Your LinkedIn data archive is ready". It usually arrives within a day.
5. Open the email (or come back to the same LinkedIn page) and click **Download archive**. The link works for 72 hours.

If LinkedIn offers **Want something in particular?** with **Posts** in the list, ticking only Posts is faster.

<Tip>
  While you wait, you can paste a few posts instead, see [writing samples](/guides/brand-voice#personal-voice-writing-samples).
</Tip>

## 2. Upload it to Prozly

Go to **Settings → Brand & Voice → Your writing samples**, open the **Upload LinkedIn export** tab, and choose the file. You can upload either:

* the ZIP file LinkedIn sends you, as it is, or
* just the `Shares.csv` file from inside it.

The file is read in your browser; only the posts file is sent to Prozly. Maximum file size is 20 MB.

You'll see the same option during onboarding, on the LinkedIn step.

## What Prozly imports

Prozly reads the text and date of your newest 50 posts. Reposts without your own added text are skipped, and any media or other data in the export is ignored.

When the upload finishes, you'll see a message like:

> Imported 42 posts from your LinkedIn export

These samples are added to your writing samples alongside anything pasted, imported from the extension, or answered in the interview. Prozly uses them as examples of your voice in suggested notes, hooks and post drafts.

<Note>
  If the file is larger than 20 MB, request only **Posts** in your LinkedIn export, or upload the `Shares.csv` file on its own.
