How to Group your Artwork into Collections
To organize your artwork into groups such as Landscape and Figurative or Oil and Watercolor, you can easily set up Collections.
The following info will guide you through the steps on creating collections, assigning artwork to the collections and display the collections on your website.
When you decide to use collections, all work needs to be assigned to a collection in order to be displayed live on your site. A piece that is not assigned to a collection will not show.
