Copy protection
Restrict users from downloading or distributing the contents of your padlet using Copy protection!

What is protected?
With copy protection enabled, only users with Admin permissions can:
- Download attachments from posts
- Export the padlet as PDF, image, or CSV
- Create remakes or copies
- Access direct links to attachments
- Duplicate or transfer posts
Add a user with Admin permissions by inviting them to collaborate! This will give the user the ability to do all of the above -- even with Copy protection enabled for everyone else.
Click on the Share arrow in the upper-right corner of the padlet > under the Collaborators section, type in the email or username of the user to invite > Invite > select Admin from the drop-down menu.

Real-world use cases
This feature is particularly valuable for:

- Teams working with confidential information that needs to stay within the platform
- Anyone who wants more control over their intellectual property
