Copy and transfer posts

After you start putting content on your Padlet board, you may find that you need to copy the content into other parts of your board or onto a completely different board.

For example, you may upload an image to one board, but realized it is also relevant to another board you're working on.

Fortunately, there are plenty of options for duplicating content on Padlet.

The board Owner and anyone invited as a collaborator with Moderator or Administrator permissions can duplicate/transfer all posts on that board. If you were signed in when you posted on the board, you should be able to duplicate or transfer your own post.

Duplicate post

When you duplicate a post, you create a copy of it and post it in a different place.

To duplicate a post, click or tap the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) on the top-right corner of the post.

Once the menu opens, select Duplicate post.

Your post will automatically clone itself onto your board. If using Sections, it will populate in the same section as the original post.

Copy post to another board

To copy your post to another board, click the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) on your post and select Copy to another padlet.

This will prompt you to choose from an existing board within your account or you can create a new one!

If you choose to copy your post to a brand new board, you will need to enter a Title, choose the account to create the new board in and click Create and copy.

Transfer post to another board

When you transfer a post, you move it from the current board to a new location. The post will no longer be available on the original board.

To transfer a post, click or tap the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) on the top-right corner of the post.

Once the menu opens, select Transfer to another padlet.

This will prompt you to choose from an existing board within your account or you can create a new one! If you choose to transfer your post to a brand new board, you will need to enter a Title, choose the account to create the new board in and click Create and transfer.

The post will be copied over once the new board is created.

FAQs

Who can duplicate/copy/transfer the posts on my board?
The creator of the board can duplicate, copy or transfer all posts -- even posts they did not write. If any users have been invited to join the board with Moderator or Administrator permissions, they will also be able to duplicate, copy or transfer any posts on that board. Finally, if the author of a post was logged in when they contributed, they will be able to duplicate, copy or transfer their own post. They will not be able to duplicate, copy or transfer someone else's post or a post made by themselves when they were not logged in.
I added a post but the duplicate/copy/transfer button doesn't show up. Why don't I see those options?
If you were logged into your Padlet account when you posted, you should be able to duplicate, copy or transfer your posts, even if they are on someone else's board. If the options do not appear, you were not logged in when you posted. Contact the owner of the board for help duplicating, copying or transferring your post.
