Agents are crucial for artwork cataloguing as they appear in provenances and in the context of exhibitions or publications. This tutorial shows you how to access agent references and filter them to review specific information or make edits.
Agents can be linked to various entries on the platform. They can appear in connection with artworks, related art events, publications, exhibitions, and other contexts. The agent references search functionality provides an overview of where an agent is used and what information about the agent is included in those contexts. This allows you to easily search for specific references and access them directly via a link to review or edit.
1. Open the agent entry to view its references.
