FAQs

On Padlet, you are able to start a Team. A Team is the perfect option for a small group of people that want to share and collaborate on padlets. With a Team, one owner can manage users, billing and account settings.

A Team gets a shared dashboard where you can collaborate on padlets together. Team admins are able to manage the users that are part of the Team. Starting a Team is free but you'll have to pay to get unlimited padlets.

Once you start your Team, you can invite teammates to join as Contributors, Makers or Admins. These distinct roles allow your group to function safely and efficiently.

Starting a Team

Start a Team by navigating to your user menu. Click your account name at the top-right corner of your dashboard and select Create a new workspace.

When you select this button you'll be prompted to choose Start Trial (for a 30-day free version) or Subscribe (to start your subscription right away).

Once you make your selection, enter a name and URL for your Team. You can choose your own or stick with the Padlet provided name. Next, click Pay now or Begin 30 day free trial. Either way, you can get to work on your Team immediately.

Access your Team dashboard

To access your Team dashboard, just click on your account name at the top-right corner of the page to open the user menu. Then, click on your Team account.

User management

You can manage the members of your Team from your Team settings. Here's how:

Delete a team

If you start a Team, you may eventually need to delete a Team. Here's how:

1. Open padlet.com on your device and click on your account name in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
Select Settings > find your Team account on the left side and click Delete Team.
You may be prompted to log in to verify ownership of the account. Once signed in, proceed with the deletion.

Finally, type in the 4-digit code in the box to complete the removal.

Click Delete.

Please note that this deletes the Team and padlets for EVERYONE, so 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. Those who can create padlets include Admins, Makers and the Owner. 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. 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 trial library 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 library to a Team Gold subscription in order to create new padlets - but you will continue to be able to edit the padlets you've already made.

Note: The trial will automatically deactivate when the 30 days have passed. 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.
