FAQ

Will the collection update the artworks automatically.

That depends on what type of collection is used for your section.

  • If you're using a standard collection, then the artworks will only update when you manually do so in Art Galleria.

  • If you're using a smart collection, then yes, the section on the website will automatically update, just as it would in Art Galleria.
