You can share your Padlet with an individual user and allow them to view and contribute. This is useful when you intend to collaborate with another user rather than sharing it with a group. Please note that Padlet refers to users as members and for this purpose they need to already have a Padlet account.

1. First, you will need the Padlet username of the person you want to share with. If they do not know their username, they can find it on the top left of their Padlet dashboard. Under the Open accounts more menu dialog (profile or avatar picture), select on My profile and you will find your username under the Avatar.
   
2. From the Padlet you want to share, select on the Share button and edit the Visitor and University of Leeds members Permissions. These permissions will become the default for your collaborators, though you will be able to change these on a person-by-person basis. Select on the Add a Collaborator box and add the username of the padlet user you would like to add. From the box next to their name you can change their permissions if needed.

The person you shared with receives an email notifying them they have been added to the Padlet. In addition, you can provide them with the URL of the Padlet you shared with them.
