Explore how the scan icons help you quickly identify whether a reference or artwork is associated with scanned publications. Follow this tutorial to learn how to detect linked scans with the help of the scan icons.
On the artwork detail page, you can include references to publications, including exhibition catalogs, and other resources. The scan icons allow you to swiftly determine whether scans are available for a publication and, if they are, whether the artwork is linked to them. Seeing the links between artworks and publication scans at a glance allows you to efficiently access relevant visual materials and gather comprehensive information about your archival materials.
There are two different icons:
- Scan icon: This icon signifies that the reference is connected to a publication for which scans are available, but the artwork is not linked to the publication scans.
- Filled-in scan iconThis icon indicates that the reference is connected to a publication and the artwork is linked to the publication scans.
On the artwork detail page, scroll down to either the exhibition or publication section.
