?Conversations and content? were the key elements of LinkedIn?s overhaul of its desktop experience.
Director of engineering Chris Pruett introduced the redesign in a blog post, saying that it will roll out to all users worldwide ?in the coming weeks.?
Pruett stressed that navigation on LinkedIn?s desktop site has been simplified into seven core areas?Home (Your Feed), Messaging, Jobs, Notifications, Me, My Network and Search?and access to other features, such as LinkedIn Learning, is available via the ?more? icon.
Pictured below are the old and new LinkedIn desktop site designs, respectively:

Pruett also provided an overview of improved areas covered by the redesign:

Smarter messaging that helps you connect and unlock new opportunities: With our new real-time messaging interface, you can message a connection wherever you are on LinkedIn. We’ll also start serving up insights across the site to help you break the ice in any conversation and connect you to your next opportunity. For example, if you see a new job posting you’re interested in, we’ll suggest someone within your network who works at the company. Richer feed to keep you informed: With a combination of algorithms and human editors working together, we?ve fine-tuned your feed to surface the most relevant content from people and publishers you care most about. We?ll also be adding new ways for you to dive deep into specific topics relevant to you and follow trending stories.
