Creating a Private Room
Go to Private Rooms under the Artwork menu on the left-hand side.
Click New to create a new Private Room.
Enter a title under Name and provide details about the artworks in the Description field.
Choose any additional details you'd like to share, such as price or status.
To make your Private Room shareable, select Published in the settings.
(Optional) Add a passphrase under Privacy Settings to protect your room.
Select the artworks you want to include:
Filter by Collections, medium, status, tags, and more.
Click the desired works and then click Add to include them.
Once all selected works are in the Selected Pieces column, click Save Room.
Sharing a Private Room
Navigate to the main Private Rooms page.
Locate the room you'd like to share.
Choose one of the following sharing options:
Copy the URL to share outside of Artwork Archive, such as in an email.
Click Share to send directly from your Artwork Archive account
When a Private Room is 'Published', it is shareable but still private and not available to anyone without the URL.
When a room is 'Unpublished', the URL cannot be copied, pasted, or shared until it is marked as 'Published'.
Viewers DO NOT need an Artwork Archive account to view a Private Room. This is a simple way to share that does not require anything other than a browser to access (and a passphrase if you chose to password protected the room).
