The 2023 summer release

It’s always fun to come back from summer break and see how everyone has changed. Who got a tan? Who changed their hairstyle? Who grew a mustache and who shaved the beard?

This summer, Padlet got a massive makeover. We’ve added dozens of new features that will make padlets safer, more collaborative, and more fun than ever before. Here’s everything we released.
