8- What is the difference between hashtag and @ on LinkedIn?

Tagging (@):

Use the @ symbol to mention a specific person, business, or entity with a LinkedIn profile in your post or comment. Tagging notifies the recipient and creates a hyperlink to their profile.

Hashtags (#):

Use the # symbol to label your content with a specific topic or theme.
Hashtags help others interested in the same topic quickly find your content.
