How to See Sent Invitations on LinkedIn
LinkedIn shows you invitations you received everywhere and the ones you sent almost nowhere. Here is where to find them, how to tell how old they are, and what to do with the ones nobody answered.
On a computer
Choose My Network in the top bar, then Manage next to Invitations, then the Sent tab. The direct link is linkedin.com/mynetwork/invitation-manager/sent/.
The Sent tab has two lists. People holds the connection invitations you sent. Pages holds invitations you sent asking people to follow a Page you manage. Each label shows the count, for example "People (412)".
In the LinkedIn app
Open the My Network tab, open your invitations, and switch to Sent. The app shows the same list, one invitation at a time, with a Withdraw button on each. The exact labels move between app versions; withdrawing on mobile walks through it.
Reading the dates
Each invitation says when it was sent, such as "Sent 3 weeks ago" or "Sent 2 months ago". Anything accepted has already left the list, so every row you see is still waiting.
Invitations do not stay forever: LinkedIn expires unanswered ones after about six months (more in do LinkedIn invitations expire). Until then they stay on this list, and a long list of them reflects a low acceptance rate, which is what LinkedIn weighs when it sets your weekly invitation limit.
What to do with the old ones
An invitation nobody answered in a month is unlikely to be answered at all. Withdrawing it does not reset your weekly limit, but it leaves a list of only the invitations still worth waiting for, and the person is not told (see does withdrawing notify them). LinkedIn then blocks re-inviting that same person for about three weeks.
LinkedIn only lets you withdraw them one at a time. Unpend withdraws them for you on this same page, with an age filter such as "older than 30 days" so recent invitations are left alone. 150 actions a month are free.
Common questions
Why is my sent invitations list empty?
Either everything you sent was accepted, withdrawn or expired, or the Received tab is selected instead of Sent. Check that Sent is selected and that you are on the People list rather than Pages.
Can I see who accepted my invitations?
Not on the Sent list, because accepted invitations leave it. The person appears in your connections, sorted by recently added, and LinkedIn usually sends you a notification when they accept.
Does withdrawing an invitation notify the person?
No. LinkedIn does not notify anyone when an invitation is withdrawn. It simply stops being pending.
