LinkedIn carousel posts (document-style slides) often get strong reach and engagement. In 2026 you can plan the storyline, draft slide copy with AI, create the assets, and schedule the post from one workflow. Here’s how.
Plan your carousel storyline
Decide the main message and number of slides (often 5–10). Use a hook on slide 1, then deliver value step-by-step or as a list. Keep text per slide short so it’s readable on mobile. Outline in a doc or use Athenous Lab Content Generation to get bullet ideas or full slide copy for a professional tone.
Create slides and intro copy
Design slides in your usual tool (Canva, Figma, etc.) at LinkedIn’s recommended size (1080×1080 or 1080×1350). Write the post intro (the text above the carousel) to tease the content and include a CTA. Lab can generate the intro and slide text so you stay on-brand; then paste into LinkedIn or schedule via Post when you publish.
Schedule and publish
Once your carousel asset is ready, upload it in LinkedIn or via your scheduler. In Athenous, connect LinkedIn in Connections and schedule the post in Post for your chosen date and time so it goes out with the rest of your content. For timing, see best time to post on LinkedIn in 2026; for copy, how to generate LinkedIn posts with AI.
