• Ensure that you have the necessary editing permissions for the board.

Step 2: Open the Collaborators Panel:

• Locate the sidebar on the right-hand side of the board interface.
• Click on the “Collaborators” icon, usually represented by an icon with multiple users or a silhouette.

Step 3: Invite Collaborators:

• In the Collaborators panel, you will find options to invite collaborators through email or by sharing a link.
• To invite via email:
  • Click on the “Invite by Email” button.
  • Enter the email addresses of the individuals you want to invite, separating multiple addresses with commas.
  • Optionally, customise the invitation message to provide context or instructions.

• To adjust a collaborator’s permissions, click on the drop-down menu next to their name and select the desired permission level (e.g., Editor, Viewer).

Step 5: Collaborate and Communicate:

• Once your collaborators receive the invitation, they can access the Padlet board using the link provided or by logging into their Padlet accounts.
