A published exhibition shows a Published tag on the Exhibitions page and on its Exhibition record. Click Public View at the top of the record to see the page your visitors see. Exhibitions that aren't published show an Unpublished tag, and Public View appears once you publish.
How to Add Artwork to an Online Exhibition
You add Pieces after creating the Exhibition record. After clicking Save on the Exhibition form, you'll be brought to the Exhibition record.
Click + Assign Pieces at the top of the record or in the Pieces in Exhibition section
If you're adding Pieces to an existing exhibition, click Exhibitions in the left-side menu, then open the exhibition by clicking its title or clicking Actions > View
Select the Pieces you'd like to assign from the left-side column
Click Add # to add them to the Selected Pieces column on the right
You can also use Show Filters to narrow your inventory by artist, location, status, collection, or other criteria
You can add in bulk by selecting Add all # pieces
If you've created Exhibition Groups/Rooms, choose a group from the Add Pieces to Group drop-down at the top of the page

How to Delete an Online Exhibition

On the Exhibitions page, click Actions on the exhibition you want to delete and select Edit, or open the Exhibition record and click Actions > Edit
Click the trash can button at the bottom of the form

Important Note
Deleting an exhibition is permanent and can't be undone. Your Pieces won't be deleted, but the exhibition will be removed from the Exhibition History of every Piece that was assigned to it. A published exhibition will also be removed from your Public Profile and web embed.
To hide an exhibition without losing it, archive and unpublish it instead. Archive is in the same Actions menu. Learn how in How to Manage Exhibitions in Artwork Archive (for Organization Accounts).
