Adding media to your lots

When creating items, you'll need to add media before they can be used as lots in auctions.

You can see a map of the process of adding media below. We'll describe each step in more detail in this article.

There are two ways add media:

1. Add all media to your lot list at once
2. Add media item by item

Option 1: Add all media to your item list at once

1. Upload media

Before uploading media in ATLAS, it is important to give them the right name using the lot numbers.

Name all the media you want to add to lot number 1 1.jpg, 1-1.jpg, 1-2.jpg, 1-3.jpg, and so on. Name all the media you want to add to lot number 2 2.jpg, 2-1.jpg, 2-2.jpg, 2-3.jpg, etc.

a) Go to Media in ATLAS.

b) Give your media upload a name at Image upload title.

c) Click Browse your computer to select and open all desired media.

d) Open the folder where the photos are and select the photos you want to upload for the lot list

e) Click open at the bottom right. An overview of the photos you want to upload will appear.

f) Check if the list of photos is correct.

g) Click upload images to start the import.

💡 To upload all photos from a folder, click on a photo and then CTRL+A to select all photos at once.

2. Match media with the items

c) Click Link to link your photos to the items.

d) Check if all media is linked by clicking on the item numbers on the left.

Option 2: Add media item by item
