There are many ways to share a padlet. The simplest is to share the URL of your padlet, but depending on your padlet, you might prefer a different sharing method. Here is a summary of sharing options. All sharing options can be found in the Share menu of your padlet.
Access the Share menu by clicking on the Share arrow in the upper-right corner of the page.
Adjust your privacy settings
Before you share your padlet, you should ensure that you have the right privacy settings. Every padlet has multiple privacy settings, and this setting determines who can access the padlet.
Visitors with a link – Writer is the new default setting for individual users. This means anyone who has the link can open and post on the padlet. If you change this setting to No access, only invited collaborators will be able to view or contribute. You’ll need to manually add them as collaborators before they can access the padlet.
Sharing options
