How to fix it

No fix needed; just know viewers can click the CR icon to see the AI and edit history.

Good to know

LinkedIn does not say it affects distribution.

Can FYProof spot it?

A check doesn't look for this one. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: not for this rule
  • Speech: not for this rule
  • On-screen text: not for this rule
  • Caption: not for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

It doesn't read details stored inside the file, such as labels an editing app adds.

Platforms change their rules often. This page sums up what LinkedIn publishes; it isn't legal advice.
