How to See and Withdraw Pending Connections on LinkedIn

We all want to build strong professional connections with our co-workers, managers, and other officials so that we can get useful updates and grow our network. LinkedIn allows us to do so as it is the perfect social media platform for working professionals to share their work, expand connections, find new opportunities, and enhance their career growth.

Just like Instagram and Facebook, LinkedIn also allows us to send and receive invitations to connect with others. But not every connection requestthat we send is accepted. So what happens to them?
