LinkedIn session expired

Podavera shows “Expired” or the extension “Not synced”: LinkedIn closed your session. How to restore it.

The extension acts with your LinkedIn session in Chrome. When LinkedIn closes that session, Podavera can no longer engage for you: you stop earning credits until it's restored.

The signs

Settings › LinkedIn Connection shows the status Expired;
in the app menu, the LinkedIn icon's dot is red;
in the extension window, LinkedIn Session says Not synced and the dot is red.

Why it happens

LinkedIn closes a session when, for example, you sign out of linkedin.com, change your password, clear Chrome's cookies, or LinkedIn asks you to sign in again.

Restore the session

Sign back in to LinkedIn

Open linkedin.com in the Chrome where the extension is installed and sign in with the same LinkedIn account as before.

Let the extension resync

As soon as LinkedIn creates the new session, the extension sends it to Podavera, with nothing to do on your side. Reopen the extension window: LinkedIn Session should say Active.

Check in the app

Reload Settings › LinkedIn Connection: the status is back to Active.
