Many of our templates feature a "Recent Works Widget" on the home page of your site.  This is intended to give site visitors an easy way to see if anything is new and by default it displays your 6-8 most recently uploaded artworks.  In most cases we recommend you leave this widget in the default mode.

Some artists however, for various reasons, have a strong desire to manually determine the images that are displayed in the recent works widget.  We have added a way to do that.  We don't recommend you manually control it unless you are very disciplined about changing the images that are displayed there on a regular basis.  It will not look good to your site visitors if your "Recent works" widget never changes.

If you would like to manually control what is displayed in that widget, here are the steps:

1. Navigate to Artwork -> Add / Edit Slidshows

2.  Click "Create a slideshow"

3.  Add a Title to the slideshow.  The title MUST be "Recent Works Widget"

4.  Add you artworks and drag-n-drop them into the order you want.  
    (The widget will only display 6-8 artworks, so there is no need to add more than that)

5. Click "Apply Changes"

6.  Refresh your website and view the home page, you should see your images now in your widget, if your template supports this widget.

From now on, when you want to change the images in your recent works widget, you just edit the "Recent Works Widget" slideshow and change the images.  If you want to go back to the default behavior, then either rename the "Recent Works Widget" slideshow to something else or delete it.
