Padlet for Schools accounts

Change privacy settings

If you have a Padlet for Schools account and want to share a padlet with a non-member seamlessly, you can make changes to the padlet's Settings to allow access as a first step.

  1. Click the Share arrow icon at the top-right of your padlet.
  2. Under Permissions, set the following within the drop-down menu:
    • 'Visitors with a link' – Writer
    This setup ensures that anyone with access to the link can add posts to the padlet.

Read more about Visitor permission options.

You can now publish and share the padlet with anyone -- registration not required! Here are a bunch of ways one can publish and invite people to access a padlet.

You can assign different permissions for workspace members and guests. For example, set 'Visitors with a link' (guests) to Reader so they can only view posts, while giving workspace members a higher role such as Writer or Moderator so they can add or manage posts.

Add collaborators

Add a user outside of your organization as a collaborator! Adding collaborators to your padlet is also a great way to grant individual permissions. For instance, if you'd like your padlet set to Commenter (so that users can only make comments on the padlet's posts) but there are a few people you'd like to have Writer permissions, you can add them as a collaborator to grant them their own unique permissions. Learn how to add collaborators to your padlet here!

With a Padlet for Schools account at padlet.com, collaborators can be users within your organization or someone outside of the school! As long as they have a Padlet account, they can be added as a collaborator.

FAQs

Why can't I add users outside of my organization as a collaborator?
If you are having trouble adding users outside of your organization as collaborators within a Padlet for Schools account, this may be blocked by the account's Owner/Admin. Please reach out to them to request this feature be enabled or contact us!
