Connection status is found on both the People page and Profiles page.

There are 3 types of connection status:

  • Connected: The account is connected and data is flowing

  • Disconnected: Connection has been lost involuntarily, and the profile needs to be reconnected

  • Not connected: No LinkedIn profile has ever been connected, or a LinkedIn profile has been intentionally removed.
