## PDF carousels

LinkedIn's document posts appear as a swipeable carousel. In Ocoya, add at least two images and give the carousel a title between 5 and 50 characters. A one-image carousel is refused with:

> LinkedIn PDF carousel requires at least 2 images

## Polls and articles

LinkedIn does not allow polls or long-form articles to be created through its API, so they cannot be scheduled from Ocoya or any other tool. Create those directly on LinkedIn.

## Common problems

**"My carousel was rejected."** It had fewer than 2 images, or the title was outside 5–50 characters.

**"I can't schedule a poll."** Not supported by LinkedIn's API — see above.

**"LinkedIn disconnected."** LinkedIn access expires periodically. See [Reconnect a channel](/help/reconnect-a-channel).
