Overview

Objects represent the items that are on display in your collection. You can add and remove Objects from the PWA using the Console. Talk to our CS team about our bulk import options. You can use Tags on Objects to assign them to specific Themes, which are available to your visitors in the PWA.

    ​

  2. Select the Create Object button.

  4. Add a Hero Image by clicking the plus sign (+) shown.
    ​

  5. Optional: You can override the default image ratio (as specified in the app settings): Cropped (image fills frame) or Un-cropped.
