Learn to seamlessly integrate these terms into your entries, ensuring a more efficient and targeted search experience. Indexing terms are used to enhance the description of entries on the Navigating.art platform. They can be added to artworks, publications, and archival resources to increase an entry's findability. These terms allow an efficient organization of your cataloguing data. By associating entries with relevant indexing terms, you can streamline searches and navigate the platform more effectively. Only pre-existing indexing terms can be added to an entry. Follow the tutorials on creating or importing an indexing term if the needed term is not yet available on the platform. ### 1.
