Shield metrics imported

19 created, 0 updated, 0 skipped. Imported metrics are marked unverified.

Imported history is now visible in Analytics

The date range has refreshed to the Shield history, the imported/unverified banner is visible, and the Post Performance rows keep their source badges.

After import

Shield history becomes a working performance surface.

Preserve provenance

Imported Shield rows stay marked as Imported instead of being blended into LinkedIn-verified metrics.

Sort what matters

Use the Analytics performance rows for top engagement, most impressions, most comments, newest posts, and keyword search.

Keep going in Latitude

Connect LinkedIn so new verified performance lands beside the historical imported rows.

Migration process

Preview first, then commit only the rows that map cleanly.

FAQ

Questions before you import.

Latitude is not affiliated with Shield or LinkedIn. This is a Latitude migration path for people moving their LinkedIn analytics workflow.

Can Latitude import Shield exports now?

Yes. Latitude supports a Shield CSV/XLSX import flow for supported post fields and metrics, with a preview step before commit.

What metrics can be imported?

Supported columns include impressions, reactions, comments, shares, engagement, post text, LinkedIn URL, and publish date when the export provides them.

What happens to imported metrics?

They appear in Analytics and Post Performance with source badges and imported/unverified messaging so provenance remains clear.

Why is Shield winding down?

Shield's public wind-down notice says Google and LinkedIn would not allow the product to continue as built. Latitude preserves the analytics history Shield users already rely on. Read Shield's notice.

What if I have more than 5,000 posts?

The standard migration offer covers up to 5,000 historical posts free. Larger exports can be scoped separately.

Bring your Shield history into Latitude.

Create your account first, then move the export through the supported import workflow.
