Import LinkedIn into your Data Tree
Use LinkedIn text as source material without turning your site into a copied resume.
Overview
LinkedIn import can help you fill missing profile fields faster. Treat it as a starting point, then edit the result so your site sounds current, specific, and intentional.
Before importing
Key points
- Remove private contact details or anything you do not want used in generated copy.
- Make sure job titles, dates, and company names are still accurate.
- Decide whether older roles should be summarized instead of featured.
- Prepare project details that LinkedIn may not include.
After importing
Steps
- Review every section in the Data Tree.
- Merge duplicates and delete stale entries.
- Rewrite long resume bullets into clearer portfolio language.
- Add projects, links, and outcomes that were not captured.
- Save the tree before generating.
LinkedIn is source material, not final copy
The best sites usually use LinkedIn for facts and then use BaseStack refinements to shape tone, section order, and positioning.
