Import my personal padlets to a Padlet for Schools account

Updated 1 week ago by Rana Wilds

Depending if you have a Padlet for Schools account at padlet.com or at padlet.org, the process for importing padlets is a bit different.

Import to a Padlet for Schools account (at padlet.com)

When initially added to a Padlet for Schools account (at padlet.com), if you have been given an Admin or Teacher role, you will have the option to transfer your padlets from your personal account to your school account, (if both accounts have the same email).

If you choose to do this later, you can import them on your own by following the steps below!

If you have a different email for both accounts, you will need to contact Customer Support for assistance.
  1. Log in to your account at padlet.com.
  2. Click on your account name/avatar in the upper-right corner of your dashboard to navigate to your personal workspace. You will know if you are in your personal workspace or not by looking for the check mark.
  3. If there isn't a check mark next to your personal account already, click on it within the user menu.
  4. Open the folder containing all padlets you've created by clicking on Made by me, on the left.
  1. Click the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) in the bottom corner of the padlet's thumbnail and choose Transfer padlet.
  1. Pick your Padlet for Schools account from the menu and your padlet will automatically transfer.
To transfer multiple padlets from your personal account to your Padlet for Schools account at the same time, you can use our multi-select feature.
To copy your padlets (instead of transferring them), you can use the Remake feature!

Import to a Padlet for Schools account (at padlet.org)

  1. Log in to your Padlet for Schools account (at padlet.org). Click on your account name/avatar in the top-right corner of your dashboard. There you will see your user menu that includes the option to Import.
If you do not see the Import button, make sure that you are logged into your Padlet for Schools account. To ensure you are successfully logged into the Padlet for Schools subscription, the domain you see in your URL should end with padlet.org and not padlet.com.
  1. On the next page, you will be prompted to log in to your personal account. Here you will enter your padlet.com credentials. The email addresses do not need to match.
  1. Choose the padlets you'd like to import and click Import.
Note the bar that says, 'Transfer padlets instead of duplicating them,' shown below.

Check the box to transfer padlets ✔️- Padlets will be removed from their original location and placed into your Padlet for Schools account. All URLs will automatically forward to the new location.

**Do note: If you have created a custom URL for your padlet (within your Settings panel), these URLs will not automatically forward. Only original URLs will automatically forward with the transfer padlets box checked.

Do not check the box to copy padlets - A copy of the padlet will remain in the original location and in your Padlet for Schools account. Each will act as their own separate padlet moving forward. URLs will not automatically forward.

If you would like users' names to stay associated with your posts when importing the padlets, make sure that the users are added to the Padlet for Schools account first. When you Import your padlets, we match the email address of the poster to a Padlet for Schools member.

Author names may be anonymized if they have not been added into the Padlet for Schools account before importing. For posts to display the authors of posts, they must first be members of the Padlet for Schools account.
