You can choose which image leads a work and which work shows as the cover of a list, exhibition or fair. You don't need to download an image and upload it again.
Make an image the main image
From the image viewer
Open a work and click its main image.
Use the arrows to find the image you want.
Click the three dots next to Download and choose Make main image.
From the Alt Views tab
Open a work and click Alt Views under the main image.
Click the three dots on the view you want and choose Make main image.
You can also do this from the three dots on an associated view, on the Installation Views tab.
What happens next:
The image you chose becomes the work's main image.
Your previous main image is added to the end of your alt views, so you don't lose it. It has no name yet. To add one, click its three dots and choose Edit.
The image you chose also stays in your alt views. If you don't want it there twice, click its three dots and choose Archive.
Choose a list's cover
Go to Inventory and open a list, exhibition or fair.
Right-click the work you want as the cover.
Choose Set as Cover.
A message confirms the new cover, and the list's card now shows the work you picked. If you right-click the work that's already the cover, you'll see Current Cover with a check mark.
You can also open the work from the list, click the three dots at the top of the page and choose Set as Cover.
❓FAQs
Q: Why don't I see Set as Cover?
A: Live lists pick their cover on their own each time they open, so they don't have this option. The work also needs an image. Videos and archived works can't be a cover.
Q: Why don't I see Make main image?
A: It doesn't show on the image that's already the main image, or on videos. If you still don't see it, ask your admin.
Q: If I change the main image of an edition set, do the editions change too?
A: Yes. Each edition gets the same main image.
