## Short answer

**Can Claude Cowork turn an approved document into a LinkedIn thought-leadership post?**

Yes. Claude Cowork reads the approved document you share, builds a post around the one insight you name, keeps its figures to what the document contains and lists any statement it could not find in the source. It saves the draft through Tareno. A scheduling request stays pending until you approve it in the dashboard.

Consulting firms and agencies spend weeks on a white paper and then reduce it to a single announcement post. The document usually contains five or six insights, each of which could carry a post of its own, if someone had time to extract them. Claude Cowork works through several files in one task, which makes it a natural fit for extraction: it reads the paper, proposes angles, drafts the post for the one you choose and checks the draft against the source. This page follows a consulting firm turning a supply-chain study into a short LinkedIn series, with the sign-off steps that keep partners comfortable.

## Example: a consulting firm mines a supply-chain study

Imagine a firm that has published a 30-page study on supplier risk. A senior consultant shares the approved PDF and the partner's sign-off note in a Cowork task and names the insight she wants first: late deliveries cluster around three suppliers per company. Cowork proposes three angles and drafts a 220-word post for the chosen one. It uses two figures from the study with their page numbers, lists one sentence that goes beyond the study and asks whether to keep it. She removes it, Cowork confirms the company page with `list_accounts`, saves the draft through `create_drafts` and returns a table of draft ID, insight and source page. The partner reads the draft in Tareno before the consultant requests a Thursday slot.

## Step by step

1. **Share the paper and the sign-off.** Give Cowork the approved document and the note that says what may be quoted. A task that sees both knows where the boundaries are and can cite page numbers.
2. **Choose one insight.** Name the insight for the first post, or ask Cowork for the three strongest candidates with page references. One post carries one insight; the rest become the series.
3. **Draft within the document.** Ask for a post of about 220 words that uses only figures in the paper and cites the page for each. Ask Cowork to list every sentence that goes beyond the source.
4. **Compare draft and source once more.** Before saving, have Cowork check the draft against the document a second time and report any difference in numbers, wording or scope. A second pass catches rounded figures.
5. **Save the draft for sign-off.** Cowork confirms the LinkedIn account with `list_accounts` and saves the text through `create_drafts`. The partner reads it in Tareno, where the exact text and account are shown.
6. **Request a slot and approve it.** Give a date, a time and an IANA time zone. The request becomes a pending action, and the approver confirms it in the dashboard.

## Prompts to copy

### Find the insights

```text
Read the attached study and the partner's sign-off note. List the three strongest insights for a LinkedIn audience of [supply-chain managers], each with the page number, the exact figure and a one-line reason it matters. Use only what the study states and do not draft yet.
```

### Draft the post

```text
Write a LinkedIn post of about 220 words around insight [2]. Use only figures from the study and cite the page for each in a separate list for me, not in the post. List every sentence that goes beyond the study so I can decide whether to keep it.
```

### Second check

```text
Compare the final draft with the study one more time. Report any difference in numbers, wording or scope, including rounding, and tell me whether a reader could take a sentence to mean more than the study says. Do not save anything to Tareno until I confirm the result.
```

### Save for sign-off

```text
Use Tareno to confirm the LinkedIn company page [name] and save the approved text as a draft. Return a table with the draft ID, the insight and the source page, and do not request a time until I confirm the partner's sign-off.
```

## LinkedIn in Tareno

- Tareno cannot read LinkedIn posts published outside Tareno or comments on them, so Cowork works from the document and from drafts stored in your workspace.
- LinkedIn's API supports document posts, but Tareno's configuration lists images and video, so a PDF cannot be attached as a document; the post can link to the study instead, and links get a preview card.
- Tareno's configuration allows up to 3,000 characters and up to 20 images per LinkedIn post, enough for a short text and a few charts from the study.
- LinkedIn's documentation says company-page posting needs the administrator, direct sponsored content poster or content admin role for the connecting member.

Official rules ([Microsoft Learn: LinkedIn Posts API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/community-management/shares/posts-api), checked 2026-10-24):

- Organic posts can contain text, images, videos, documents, articles, several images or polls. Organic carousels are not supported by the Posts API; they exist only as sponsored content.
- Posting for a company page requires one of the page roles administrator, direct sponsored content poster or content admin. Posting as a member needs the w_member_social permission.
- An article post needs its title, description and thumbnail set explicitly, because the API does not scrape the link for a preview.
- Reading a member's own posts needs r_member_social, a restricted permission that is available to approved users only.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Quoting a figure without its context. A number from page 12 can mean something different without the sentence before it; keep the qualifier with it.
- Rewriting the insight until it says more than the study. Ask Cowork to list sentences that go beyond the source and decide each one yourself.
- Attaching the whole PDF expectation. Tareno posts images and video, so plan to link the study and use charts as images.
- Skipping the partner's read. The sign-off step exists because the firm's name is on the post.

## What does not work

- Claude Cowork cannot attach the PDF as a LinkedIn document post, because Tareno's configuration for LinkedIn lists images and video only.
- It cannot decide what the firm may disclose, so the sign-off note and a person's review stay part of the process.
- It cannot publish by itself, since scheduling and publishing requests wait for your approval in the Tareno dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can Claude Cowork read a 30-page PDF and write a LinkedIn post from it?

Yes. Share the approved document and name the insight, and Cowork drafts a post that stays within the paper, with page references on the side. You read the draft and decide whether any sentence that goes beyond the source stays.

### How do I make sure the post does not overstate the study?

Ask Cowork to list every sentence that goes beyond the document and to compare the final draft with the source a second time. Rounded figures and missing qualifiers are the usual problems, and a table of differences exposes them.

### Can the white paper be attached to the LinkedIn post?

Not as a document post. Tareno's configuration for LinkedIn lists images and video, not documents. Link to the study in the post, where LinkedIn shows a preview card, and use charts from the study as images.

### Can Cowork write a whole series from one paper?

Yes. Ask for the strongest insights with page numbers, choose the order and draft one post per insight in separate tasks or one task. Save each as its own draft, so reviewers can approve them independently.

### Who can approve the post?

Anyone with the right access in your Tareno workspace. Scheduling requests wait as pending actions in the dashboard, so the partner or communications lead reads the exact text before LinkedIn receives anything.

### Do I need to set Tareno up for each task?

No. After the plugin is installed and you have signed in, Tareno is available to later tasks. In each task, name the account, the document and the sign-off note so the draft lands on the right profile.

## Tareno tools used

- `list_accounts`
- `create_drafts`

Approval model: Tareno saves drafts directly. Scheduling, publishing, edits to scheduled posts and deletions become pending actions that a person approves in the Tareno dashboard; no agent can approve them.
