Padlet Teams

Updated 1 week ago by Rana Wilds

A Team plan is ideal for a small group of people that want to collaborate on padlets within a shared dashboard.

Padlet is all about bringing people together for fun and easy collaboration. Getting started with a Team account is the perfect way to do that!

Create a Team

Create your Team by navigating to your user menu.

  1. Log into padlet.com to open your dashboard.
  2. Click your account name/avatar in the top-right corner of your dashboard and select Create a new workspace.
When creating a Team, it's important to know that you will become the account Owner, by default. If you should not be the Owner of the Team, please reach out to the individual who should be so that they can be the one to set up the account.
  1. Choose to Start Trial (for a free, 30-day version) or Subscribe (to start your subscription right away).
  2. Next, enter a name and URL for your Team. You can choose your own or stick with the Padlet provided name.

  1. Click Pay now or Begin 30 day free trial to get to work on your Team immediately.

Manage Team members

You can manage your Team members from the 'Getting started' page or from your dashboard.

  1. Select your account name/avatar at the top-right corner of your dashboard.
  2. Select Settings.
  1. Under your Team name, click Members.

Add users

Teams have four roles: Owner, Admin, Maker and Contributor. After each member has been added to your Team and your account has been upgraded, you will be billed for the Owner and each Admin and Maker. Contributors are free. Learn more about the different Team roles here!

  1. Click the Invite button on the right side of the Members page.
  2. Enable the invite link for the role(s) you want to invite to.
  1. Copy the link and share it with users you wish to add to your Team.
It's a good idea to Disable the invite links after all users are added to avoid unintended charges to the account. Just click the Disable button so that the link is no longer active. If you need to add more users later, create a new link by clicking Enable link.

Change user roles

Manage user roles on your Members page. Click the drop-down menu on the right side of the user's name and choose the appropriate role.

Remove users

Remove users from your Team on your Members page. To remove a user, click the drop-down menu on the right side of the user's name and click Deactivate.

Deactivated members will no longer have access to the Team account but their padlets, posts and comments will still be visible.

Access your Team dashboard

When you first log into your account, you may initially be viewing the dashboard within your personal workspace. To access the dashboard within your Team workspace, click on your account name/avatar at the top-right corner of the page to open the user menu. Then, click on your Team account.

A check mark will be next to the account you are currently working in. If you see a check mark next to your Team account, you're all set!

Delete a team

To delete your Team workspace from your account, follow these steps:

  1. Click on your account name/avatar in the top-right corner of your dashboard and select Settings.
  2. Under your Team account on the left, click Delete Team. You may be prompted to log in again to verify ownership of the account.
  1. Finally, type in the 4-digit code in the box and click Delete.
Deleting your Team will remove the Team workspace from your account and all padlets created within the Team. Proceed with caution.

FAQs

Can I be the only person in my Team?
Yes.
Do I have to pay to add members to my Team?
The Owner of the Team plan will be billed based on the number of people who can create padlets within the Team. The Owner and all Admins and Makers can create padlets. You will not be charged for Contributors.

Example: If you (the Owner) are the only one on the Team, it will cost $149.99/year for US customers. If you add 2 Admins, 2 Makers and 25 Contributors, the total for your Team will be $749.95/year. -- It's $149.99 for the Owner, $299.98 for the 2 Admins and $299.98 for the 2 Makers - for a total of $749.95. The 25 Contributors are free.
How many Teams can I create on my account?
All Neon, Gold and Platinum members can create one team per account. However, you can be an Admin, Maker or Contributor in 2 or more Teams.
What happens when my 30-day free trial runs out?
During your trial period, the account operates as a paid plan. It has the same quotas as Team Gold (unlimited padlet creation and a limit of 1 GB per upload). Once the trial ends, you will need to upgrade your trial to a Team Gold subscription to make new padlets - but you can continue to edit the padlets you've already created.

Note: The trial will automatically deactivate when the 30 days have lapsed. It will not automatically upgrade to a paid subscription. You will need to upgrade to a paid subscription through your Billing page or contact Customer Support to continue with Team Gold.
Can I change another Team member's username?
No. If another user needs to change their username, they will have to adjust it from their account settings.
How many users can I add to my Team?
As many as your precious heart desires! ☺️
