Transfer padlets

Individual, Team, Classroom and Padlet for Schools accounts (at padlet.com)

All personal (individual) accounts, Teams, Classrooms and Padlet for Schools accounts (at padlet.com) are located within the same Padlet space.

If you have an individual account and a Team plan associated with the same email address, both accounts live in the same house -- under the same roof.

To keep things separate, these two accounts have their own "rooms". Your individual account has their own "room" and your Team has a different "room." Padlets made in your individual account cannot be seen by your Team and visa versa.

But what if you want your Team to see them? What if you had inadvertently created your padlets in your individual account but wanted them in your Team account all along? Now you can transfer your padlets right from your own dashboard!

Where can I transfer my padlets?

Currently, account owners have the ability to transfer padlets from:

• Their personal account -> Team/Classroom/Padlet for Schools account (tied to the same email).
• Their Team/Classroom/Padlet for Schools account -> personal account (tied to the same email).
• Their Team/Classroom/Padlet for Schools account -> another Team/Classroom account (tied to the same email).
