You can see who has contributed to your Padlet if you have enabled the Author and timestamp setting and they are logged in in with their University of Leeds Padlet account.


To start, open the Padlet and click on the cog on the right to open the settings.

I do not want posts to be anonymous

If you do not want posts to be anonymous, you can see the names of post authors by toggle on the Author and timestamp setting.

Post authors will only be visible if they are logged in with their University of Leeds Padlet account so some posts could still be anonymous. If you want to ensure that no posts are anonymous, all contributors to your Padlet should be logged in with their account, you can also ask them to write their name on their posts.
