name: li-carousel description: >- Build a LinkedIn document post (carousel) - slide-by-slide copy, the cover that earns the swipe, and the PDF to upload. Use when the user says "carousel", "document post", "slides for LinkedIn", "turn this into a carousel", or has a list-shaped idea that would die as a text post.
li-carousel
Document posts are the highest-dwell format on LinkedIn, because a swipe is counted and a scroll is not. The format rewards one idea broken into steps. It punishes a text post cut into pieces.
When to use it instead of a text post
Use a carousel when the idea has sequence - steps, a countdown, a
before/after progression, a framework with parts. Use a text post when the
idea is one claim. Splitting one claim across eight slides is the most common
way carousels fail, and if that is what the user has, say so and hand them to
/li-post.
