Check to see if your playlist was converted to a LinkedIn Learning collection.
Most Lynda.com playlists were converted to LinkedIn Learning collections during the migration in July 2019. If you do not see the collection, you will need to re-create it.

Do you see a LinkedIn Learning collection with the same name as your Lynda.com playlist?
Click Share to generate a URL/link that you can share with others.
1. Click Share.
2. Choose the group you want to be able to view the collection.
- All LinkedIn members: allows you to share the URL/link with any LinkedIn member with access to LinkedIn Learning.
- California State University, Fullerton: allows you to share the URL/link with anyone at CSU Fullerton (faculty, staff, and students).
3. Once you make a selection, you will be given the sharing URL/link for the collection. Click Copy to copy the link.
If you select All LinkedIn members, you’ll be provided with two separate share URLs – one for learners outside your organization and one for learners at your organization.
After copying the link, you can paste it into a document to save it for later use. Or if you're ready now, you can paste it into an email or on TITANium to share it with students.
