How do I import existing padlets into my Tufts Padlet account?

If you already had a Padlet account prior to Tufts supporting the platform, you may want to import content from your non-Tufts Padlet account. This will transfer the original padlet but will NOT transfer over any comments or contributions not created by you.

NOTE: When you created a Tufts Padlet account at tufts.padlet.org, it created you a whole separate account.

Even if you used your Tufts email for your "basic" account, they will be seen by Padlet as two separate accounts.

SEE: Downgrading Padlet Account if you were paying for a Padlet account and would like to downgrade your Non-Tufts account.

To Import content head to tufts.padlet.org

Click "..." in the bottom left corner of the dashboard
