How to Upload Images to Auction Items

You add photos to an auction item from Item Catalog. In the left sidebar, under Fundraising Modules, click Online Auction. There is no left-sidebar entry named Item Management.

To create the item first, see How do I add an item to my auction?.

Open Item Catalog

1. Go to your dashboard.
2. Click Manage auction on the auction card, or open the campaign.
3. In the left sidebar, under Fundraising Modules, click Online Auction.
4. You land on Item Catalog.

The page URL includes /admin/auctions/{id}/item-management/item-catalog.

If you are looking for Item Management in the left sidebar, you will not find it. In the left sidebar, under Fundraising Modules, click Online Auction instead.

You can add photos while the auction is still a Draft.

Open the item

For a new item:

1. Stay on the Item Catalog tab.
2. In Add items, click Add item.
3. The Add New Item drawer opens. The helper text is Edit item details, images, and bidding settings.
4. Stay on the Edit Item tab.

For an item that is already in the catalog:

1. Stay on Item Catalog.
2. Find the item row.
3. Open the ⋯ Actions menu.
4. Click Edit.
5. Stay on the Edit Item tab.

Use Item Image

Scroll to Item Image. The field is optional. You can skip it and still save.

Next to the Item Image label is an Auto Zoom switch.

To add photos:

1. Click Upload files, or drag and drop onto the dashed area.
2. The helper text is PNG, JPG, GIF (optimized for web).

On a phone, Item Image also includes Take Photo.

Use Item Image for photos on one item. The Excel Upload control is for adding many items, not for photos.

Organize photos on the item

When the item already has photos, Item Image says Drag images to reorder. First image will be the primary image displayed.

You can:

• Drag images to change the order
• Use Rotate image on a photo
• Use Remove image on a photo

The first image is the primary image shown to bidders.

Save your changes

On a new item, click Save Item.

When you edit an existing item, click Update Item.

Cancel or Close leaves the drawer without saving.
