Hiding and Deleting Artwork

Overview

You have full control over which artwork is visible on your website. You can hide individual works without deleting them, or delete artwork you no longer want to keep.

Hiding Artwork

Hiding is the safest way to remove artwork from public view. The artwork stays in your account and can be made public again at any time.

Visibility options

  • Public: Visible to all visitors in your galleries
  • Unlisted: Not shown in galleries, but still reachable by anyone with the direct link (useful for sharing with specific people)
  • Hidden: Only visible to you when logged in. Its address doesn't work for visitors, not even with the link

How to hide artwork

  1. Go to Artwork in your dashboard
  2. Click the artwork you want to hide
  3. Find the Visibility or Status setting
  4. Change it to Hidden
  5. Click Save

The artwork is removed from your galleries immediately. You can restore it to Public at any time.

Deleting Artwork

Deleting artwork removes it from your account permanently. This cannot be undone.

Before deleting:

  • Download your image files if you want to keep them; they are not recoverable after deletion
  • Check collections: if the artwork is in any collections, it is removed from those collections automatically
  • Check submissions: if the artwork has been submitted to a group website, it is withdrawn from that website before deletion

How to delete artwork

  1. Go to Artwork in your dashboard
  2. Click the artwork you want to delete
  3. Click the Delete button (usually in a settings menu or at the bottom of the edit form)
  4. Confirm the deletion

Which Option Should I Use?

Situation Recommended action
Work in progress, not ready to share Hidden
Sharing privately with one person Unlisted
Seasonal work you may want to show later Hidden
Work you will never want again Delete
Sold work you want to keep on record Public, marked as Sold

Tips

  • When in doubt, hide rather than delete. It's always reversible.
  • Deleting is permanent. Download your images before proceeding.
  • Setting a page to Hidden affects the page but not the individual artwork records. Manage artwork visibility in the Artwork section, not the page editor.
