Copy protection

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

What is protected?

With copy protection enabled, only padlet admins 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

Using copy protection

To find the 'Copy protection' menu, open your padlet and click on the Settings cog icon (⚙️) > Content > next to 'Copy protection,' click the drop-down menu and choose between the following:

• None - Visitors can remake, download and export the content on the padlet
• Disable remakes - Visitors will not be able to remake the padlet
• Disable all - Visitors will not be able to remake, download or export the content on the padlet

Special permission

You can choose to allow only certain users access to download, remake and export your padlet, while disabling this for everyone else!

If your padlet's 'Copy protection' is set to Disable all or Disable remakes, add a collaborator with Admin permissions. This will allow that particular user to download or export the content.

Real-world use cases

This feature is particularly valuable for:

• Teachers running video discussions who want to prevent recordings from being downloaded
• Language instructors who need students to engage directly with content rather than using translation tools
• Teams working with confidential information that needs to stay within the platform
• Anyone who wants more control over their intellectual property
