Padlet is the easiest way to create and collaborate in the world.

A quick look at the dashboard...
The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It has:

Buttons to create, join and view padlets

A list of all padlets that you have made, viewed, bookmarked, and been added as a contributor to

Your profile photo and other accounts you're a member of

You can always return to the dashboard via the Padlet logo, upper left corner

Make a Padlet

Click the pink Make a Padlet button to create a new padlet.
How to change the title How to change the wallpaper
Change the title and wallpaper, and other appearance settings in the Modify (⚙) menu.

The Share menu (arrow icon) may look complex at first. We provide many options so you can make your content as public or as private as you want.

Choose from 4 standard options: Private, Password Protect, Secret [default], and Public. Learn more about those here.

Choose from visitor permissions to decide whether people can read, write [default], moderate, or administer your padlet.
Learn the many different ways to add content to your Padlet
At this point, you have a blank padlet that you can share with others so they can post to it. Depending on your purpose, you can also build an entire wall filled with posts.

Send your work to the world (or just a few friends)

A s hared link offers quick access to the padlet.

You can also add padlet users by username or email address and assign individual capabilities for each. Click "Save" when you're ready to share your padlet.

An account is not required to access a padlet unless the creator explicitly requires a login (private padlet).

You can quickly share a Padlet by link, QR code, or Google Classroom with a preview of the padlet's cover image, title, and description. Simply scroll down the Share panel to view all options available.

Now that your padlet is set up, it's time to begin adding content! ✨

Add a post

Double-tap or click the add (+) button on the padlet. If you're using a desktop, you can also type C to open a new post.

Add a title, text, and/or an attachment. Click Publish to post. If you're using a desktop, you can also type Cmd/Ctrl + Enter.

Not seeing a textbox or the + icon? It's probably not open yet for posts. Click here for more info.

Attachments

For a more striking entry, you can also add media files to your post. Some of the attachment options include images, documents, links, videos, and drawings. You can even use your webcam or device microphone to record a video or sound file. 📸

You can also drag and drop files into the padlet to post multiple items at once!

Post Drafts

Posts will autosave as drafts. A draft will remain on its padlet across devices and sessions. Post drafts appear on the bottom of the Padlet screen.

To schedule a post, select the clock icon in the post modal.

Set your desired posting time. This can be any time in the next year. Select Set time.

1. Click the 3 vertical dots on the post you want to pin.

2. Select Pin post!

What files can I upload to a padlet?

We accept almost all file formats like .png., .jpg, mp4, .gif and .ppt!

Do I need an account to post on a padlet?

Nope! However, if you post on a padlet without an account, your post will be anonymous.

How many people can post on a padlet?

There's no limit to the number of users you can share a padlet with regardless of the plan you are on. They can even post at the same time! Try the Grid or Wall format if you have multiple people working in a padlet at the same time.

What is the character limit for posts?

The post subject has a character limit of 500. The post body has a character limit of 10,000.

Why can't I post on my own padlet?

Ensure that you are logged in to the account that owns the padlet.

Why can't my students post on my padlet?

Click the SHARE button on the action bar >> Change Privacy >> Visitor Permissions - Can Write >> SAVE. Learn more about Privacy and Permissions

Do I need to refresh to see new posts?

No. New posts should appear in real time. If you need to refresh the page to see new posts, please contact us.

How far in advance can I schedule a post?

One year in advance.

Select Schedule

Post drafts will save across sessions and devices, so if you want to attach a file on a different device, you can leave a draft, return to the padlet on a different device, and attach it there.

Schedule a post

You are also able to schedule a post.

Pin a post

You can also pin a post to your padlet!

If you're a perfectionist like me, any accidental typos just irk you to no end. It's a good thing the edit function exists or I'd have to delete and start all over again 😢

1. To edit a post, you first have to be the author of the post or an administrator of the padlet.

2. Then, hover over the vertical ellipsis (...) of the post and click on Edit. Type to your heart's desire.

Crush all your essays, make them typo-free!
