The Collector plan focuses on organizing and managing your art collection, with features like location tracking, provenance records, revenue totals, and exhibition history. While line item options for tracking extra acquisition costs are not available, you can store detailed invoices, receipts, and documents as Additional Files within a Piece Record. This keeps all related files organized together with the artwork.
Additionally, you can use the Notes section to record expenses, track valuations, and keep any thoughts about the artwork directly linked to the piece.
Note:
The Additional Files feature is only available on Collector Premier accounts. If you do not have this plan, you can track artwork expenses in the Notes section.

Using Notes to detail expenses in a Piece Record:
When uploading or editing an artwork's data, you can add private Notes. By default, these notes are completely private unless you choose to share them on Reports, in Private Rooms, or on your Public Profile. This keeps everything organized within each artwork record rather than having to search folders for files.
Examples of information to track in the Notes section:
Record artwork expenses
Track valuations
Link additional details or thoughts directly to the piece
Artwork Archive Tip:
If you want to keep track of Pieces with notes simply add a keyword to the Tag feature for easy filtering.
