The content of Padlets is not monitored or governed. Each Padlet account holder is responsible for content in Padlets they create or posts they add to other Padlets.

You can change moderator settings to enable manual or automatic approval for posts to your Padlets. You can also add a profanity filter as part of moderator settings.

1. Open the Padlet and click on the cog on the right to open the settings.
