Remake a padlet

Use the remake tool to create copies of padlets. Then, customize your copy without impacting the original.

Remakes are great if you teach several classes. Just make one beautiful padlet and remake it for each class. Remakes are also useful if you find a Template you want to customize. Such a time saver!

💡Teacher tip: You can have a copy of your padlet automatically added to your student's account by sharing an Auto-remake link.

Auto-remake links are great because there's no need to instruct your students to click the Remake button at all! Just share the Auto-remake link with them (rather than the general URL). When they visit the link, your padlet will be remade into their account allowing them to work from their own copy!

Remake a padlet

First, log into your Padlet account. Then, open the padlet you want to remake and click the Remake button in the action bar.

Board

Sandbox

Unable to click the Remake button? The owner of the padlet has turned remakes OFF. You will need to contact them if you want to remake their padlet.

Remake options

When you remake a padlet, you can change the title, pick the contents to copy and choose which workspace to save your remake to (if you have multiple accounts under the same email).

Account selection

If you have multiple accounts under the same email address, choose which account you'd like to create your Remake in. Click your account name at the top of the remake menu to choose your account. If no account is chosen, it will be remade in the current workspace.

Copy posts or objects

Choose to remake the padlet with posts created by Admins only, All posts or None at all! You can also choose to copy the different contributions from others.

Admin only options

If you are the creator or an admin of the padlet you are remaking, choose whether to Copy people and privacy settings (so that your new Sandbox will have the same 'Link privacy' settings), as well as if the copied posts will still be attributed to their original authors.

For Sandbox, the option to copy Posts is replaced by Objects.

When you're ready, click Remake to create a duplicate that you can customize and edit without impacting the original version.

Prevent remakes

If you do not want others to remake or copy your padlet, you can turn the option off. Open the padlet you want to restrict remakes on. Open the Settings menu by clicking on the Settings cog icon (⚙️) and go to the Content section. Click on the drop-down menu next to 'Copy protection' and make your selection.

  • Select Disable remakes to prohibit visitors from remaking the padlet.
  • Select Disable all to keep users from remaking the padlet, downloading the content and exporting the padlet.

With remakes disabled, only the creator and other administrators of the padlet can remake it.

FAQs

How will I know if someone remakes my padlet?
You can be notified when someone remakes your padlet. From your dashboard, click on your account name/avatar in the upper-right corner of the screen > Settings > Notifications. Under General > Activity, you can opt into push or email notifications when your padlet is remade by someone.
Someone copied my padlet. Can Padlet take it down or delete it?
We value intellectual property rights. If a remade padlet violates our Content Policy, please contact us with a link to the padlets. If you do not want your padlets to be copied, we provide a way to prevent remakes, which we encourage you to use.
I remade a padlet. Why can't my students post on it?
You may need to adjust your padlet's 'Visitor permissions.' Go to the remade padlet and click the Share arrow > 'Link privacy.' Make sure the 'Visitor permissions' are set to Writer if you want your students to post on your padlet.
I am a member of a Padlet for Schools account. Can I remake padlets?
Padlet for Schools accounts (at padlet.com): Yes! Just click the Remake button and choose the correct account at the top of the menu.

Padlet for Schools accounts (at padlet.org): Yes, but you can only remake padlets that are in your Padlet for Schools account. This is because your Padlet for Schools account is like a silo: padlets created inside the silo can be remade, but padlets created outside of the silo cannot. If you want to remake a non-Padlet for Schools padlet into your school account at padlet.org, you can remake it with your personal account at padlet.com first and then import it into your Padlet for Schools account. If you need help with this process, please contact us.
I only have a padlet.com account. Can I remake a padlet created inside of a Padlet for Schools account?
Padlet for Schools accounts (at padlet.com): Yes! Just click the Remake button and choose the correct account at the top of the menu.

Padlet for Schools accounts (at padlet.org): No. You must be a member of the Padlet for Schools account to remake a padlet within the organization.
