Documents and installation views in an OVR

Add a Documents tab and installation views to your OVR, and see how visitors open PDFs.

Written by Kalila Richards

In the OVR editor, open Documents & Installations in the panel on the right. Click Publish when you're done, so visitors see your changes.

Documents tab

Turn on Show Documents Tab to share files such as PDFs, press releases or essays. A Documents tab appears at the top of the OVR, next to Artworks. It always sits above the works, and you can't move it.

How visitors see a PDF

When a visitor clicks a document, it opens in a new browser tab. A PDF shows in the browser's own PDF viewer, where visitors scroll down through the pages. There's no page-turning flipbook view.

Installation views

Turn on Show Installation Views to show room shots from your gallery, booth or exhibition. Then choose a Layout: Carousel, 4 Col, 3 Col or 2 Col. For the carousel, see Display Installation Views as a Full-Width Carousel.

Choose where they appear:

  • Top: just below the banner.

  • Bottom: at the end of the OVR.

  • In Tab: in their own tab, named Views, next to Artworks and Documents.

Room shots you add under Install Views on an inventory list show only in OVRs made from that list. They don't show on the artwork's own page.
