Required fields
Requiring certain areas of your posts be filled out before submission is a highly requested feature that is now available at your fingertips!
Choose to require all fields or just a select few!
How to use required fields
Open your padlet and click the Settings cog (⚙️) on the right-hand side. Under the 'Posts' section, click Post fields. The Post fields menu will pop up with all of your options!
![]() | ![]() |
Select the part of your post you'd like to customize and you can toggle the button ON next to 'Required.' Don't forget to hit Save!

What happens if someone tries to Publish a post without the Required field? They will receive an error message that displays at the top of the page for a few seconds before returning to the unpublished post.
