Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Usually between 10 minutes and about 24 hours. LinkedIn emails you the download link when it is ready.

Should I unzip the file before importing to MonLivreSMS?

Does LinkedIn export photos and attachments?

No. LinkedIn Messages export is text only. The book includes the text of your conversations.
