# Why Does LinkedIn Show the Wrong Image When I Share an Article?

I updated the featured image on an article, but LinkedIn still shows the old one when I paste the URL into a post. The page itself looks correct, and the image is available in a browser.

Could this be caused by stale **Open Graph metadata**, or does LinkedIn keep its own cached preview for a while? I’m trying to work out whether I should change something on the site or just wait before sharing the link again.
