Important: Make sure you add works to each of the works you want to relate to and ensure all the related works have been already shared to the website. For more information on how to do this, please see here: Sync artworks and artists from your database to your website (for integrated websites).
How long can you expect this to update on the website? If the works are already shared to the site, the sync should happen after 30 seconds. If the works are not shared, you will need to wait for the sync (15-30minutes). For more information on the sync times, see this guide: Artlogic Database-to-website sync times. 

Steps to check your website to see your related works

  1. Go to your website
  2. Navigate to the artwork detail page for works that have Related Artworks applied
  3. Scroll down to the 'Related Artworks' section. You will be able to click into these smaller thumbnails and this will take you to that works detail page.
