Customize your post's thumbnail image

A picture is worth 1000 words! Therefore, the perfect picture must represent each post on your padlet. - Say that three times really fast.

You're making a board full of the world's tastiest treats and you link a website to one of your posts. Everything else on the board looks decadent and delicious and then your post is published -- but not with the perfectly carved out dessert picture you'd imagined -- but a blank stock image instead. Boo! How do you change it?

Customize the thumbnail preview during the creation your post or edit it later!

3. Click on your choice. Once the image generates, click the pencil icon in the bottom-right corner.
