Transfer padlets

Libraries

What is a Library?

All personal (individual) accounts, Teams and Classrooms are classified as a Library. All of these plan types 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 "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 library 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 library -> Team/Classroom library (within the same account).
• Their Team/Classroom library -> personal library (within the same account).
• Their Team/Classroom library -> another Team/Classroom library (within the same account).
