Your school has upgraded (or is upgrading) to LTI 1.3. Your embedded padlets still work, but you'll need to re-add them to use the new connection. Here's why and how.

What changed

Padlet is retiring the older version of LTI (the system your LMS uses to connect to Padlet), and your school has upgraded to LTI 1.3.

Old embeds still load, and students can still open them. What doesn't carry over is the LTI connection itself, which handles automatic sign-in and identifies who's contributing.

What this means for your padlets

Your padlets are safe. Nothing has been deleted.

Old embeds still load. Students can open them as before.

Students will need to sign in to Padlet manually when they open an old embedded padlet. Automatic sign-in no longer works on those.

To restore automatic sign-in, remove the old embed and add a new one using your LMS's updated Padlet tool. Students will then be signed in automatically again.

You don't have to re-add everything at once. Old embedded padlets keep working with manual login, so re-add as you go or knock them out in one sitting.

How to re-embed your padlets in your courses

Steps depend on your LMS, but the flow is the same:

  1. Open the course or module where the old padlet is placed.
  2. Remove the existing embed (the link, embed, or external tool item).
  3. Add a new external tool item using your LMS's updated Padlet tool.
  4. Select the same padlet from the picker.
  5. Save.

If your LMS isn't listed, search its help docs for "external tool" or "LTI," or ask your school's LMS admin.

FAQ

Will I lose any student work or padlet content?
No. Removing an embed only removes the link in your LMS. The padlet, posts, and comments stay intact in Padlet.
Do I have to re-add every padlet?
Only if you want automatic login. Old embeds keep loading with manual login.
My students can't log in to their Padlet account.
Ask your school's LMS admin to confirm LTI 1.3 is set up correctly. If it is, students should be signed in automatically on newly added embeds. If old embeds still aren't working, you may need to remove them and re-add them using the new LTI 1.3 tool.
Can I add the new embed without removing the old one?
You can, but you'll have two links to the same padlet. Cleaner to remove the old one first.
Where can I learn more about why this is changing?
Your school's Padlet admin has a detailed migration guide with the full background. You can access it here.
