Search and filter posts
Padlets can hold hundreds of posts. If you need to find just one post, it can be hard to find exactly what you're looking for.
Instead of reading through each post on your padlet, use search and filter. Search through all of the posts on your padlet by keyword, or filter by post color, author, or status.
Accessing the search and filter bar
From your padlet, click the search bar in the upper right. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + F.

Once you have opened the search bar, you can seach by typing words. You can also click the filter icon to reveal the filtering options.
Search posts
The search bar allows you to search the following content of your posts:
- Post subject
- Post body
- Post author
- Comment
- Caption
- Attachment metadata

To search, simply type what you're looking for in the search bar. Only posts with content that matches your search will appear. When you clear your search, your padlet will revert to normal.
Filter posts
You can also filter the posts on your padlet from the search bar. Filter works the same way as search. When you apply a filter, only posts that match your filter will appear, and when you clear the filter, your padlet will revert to normal.
Click the funnel icon to reveal the filtering options. You can filter by publish status, post color, or author.

Post status
If you have enabled content moderation, you can filter to see which posts have been published or which have been submitted but not yet approved.
Color
Filter posts by color. Learn more about changing post color.
Author
If you have enabled name attribution, you can filter posts by author.
