On the next page – click the “Settings”
spindle on upper right side of the page
From this page you can upload contacts 3
different ways.The 1st option is to sync your emails,
contacts or calendars
The second option is to sync the mobile apps CardMunch, Evernote
and/or Tripit
The third way to upload contacts to LinkedIn is by importing
them from your mobile device, CVS files or address books. See
your options below

Contacts and CalendarsStep 1: Click “Sync” located next to
the account you want to sync
Step 2: Fill out your login information for that account in the popup window
& click “Sync”

Option 3: How To Upload Contact
Files

Step 2: Follow the instructions from the popup – it will explain how to export the files from each source
***Note• You can upload your mailing lists as contacts to
any of the lists email sources and export them as a CSV after.
• This should be done if you have a list that is not mentioned as an option from the menu
Step 2: Adding and Tagging Contacts
From the page you are on…
Click “Go Back to Contacts”Click the search filter “Filter by
Contacts” – follow the dropdown to “Source”
After you click “Source”
• You will be give the option to sort your contacts by upload type.
• ***Note: Contacts are all contacts – connections are people you are connected to on LinkedIn
After you click on the contact type, it will
pull all of your contacts from that
upload. The list will show you where you
are connected.
Examples:
• The blue LinkedIn logo
means that you are
connected on LinkedIn
• The Grey LinkedIn logo
means you are not
connected on LinkedIn
but they have one
• When you only see the
Gmail logo (or whichever
file type you searched by)
it means that a LinkedIn
account was not found
with that email.
If a contact has a grey LinkedIn logo and you want to
connect, click “connect” under their profile from within the
list
For Easier Search and Filter- Add Tags to
ConnectionsYou can click the “tag” option under
your contacts profileThen you can either choose from the
listed tags or make a new one
