Posting

There are two ways to post to a padlet wall. You can double click on any blank space or by clicking the plus symbol in the bottom right-hand corner of the browser window.

Padlets are created as 'private' by default, meaning they are hidden from the public and users will only be permitted access if you have specifically invited them.

You should change your privacy settings in the Share menu if you want to share your padlet by another method.

Under Privacy in the Share menu, you can also edit visitor permissions. This will restrict whether visitors are able to read only, or whether they can post and edit content.
