Create a Padlet

Before you can create a Padlet, you must have created an account and logged in. You can create an unlimited number of Padlets: 

Privacy settings

By default, all Padlets are created as 'Private'. Which means the URL is available to you but isn't published publicly.  

The privacy settings can be changed to: 

  • Private: Keep the Padlet hidden from the public and only you can access.

  • Password: Keep the Padlet hidden from the public. If you choose to share it with someone, they will require a password to access it. 

  • Secret: Keep the Padlet hidden from the public, but if you choose to share it with someone, they will be able to access it. 

  • Org wide: Keep the Padlet hidden from the public but anyone at the University of Derby organisation could access it.
