Snapshot

When you want to quickly share a work from your collection without sending an entire document or web link, the Snapshot feature generates a clean, beautifully formatted image card of your asset, complete with its core metadata.

What is included in a snapshot?

A snapshot pairs the artwork's primary image with a refined typographic layout displaying essential details:

• Artist / Creator

• Title

• Year of creation

• Medium & materials

This provides advisors, collectors, or colleagues with an immediate, elegant visual reference that includes all vital tombstone data in a single image file.

How to create a snapshot

1. Navigate to the asset page for the piece you wish to share.

2. Locate the action toolbar in the bottom-left corner below the main artwork image.

3. Tap the Snapshot icon (the aperture/shutter symbol).

Sharing options by device

Depending on whether you are using Sesame on a desktop browser or a mobile device, your sharing options will adapt automatically:

Desktop (macOS & Windows)

Tapping the Snapshot icon opens a quick-action menu with two options:

• Copy to clipboard: Copies the generated image card directly to your clipboard, allowing you to paste it instantly into emails, presentations, or chat applications.

• Save to computer: Downloads the image file directly to your device's downloads folder.

Mobile (iOS & Android)

On mobile devices, tapping the Snapshot icon opens your native system share sheet:

• Direct messaging: Send the image directly via Messages, WhatsApp, Signal, or Mail.

• Save to photos: Save the image directly to your device's photo library for later reference.

Pro-tip: Hover over the tombstone details (artist, title, year, medium) on the asset page to reveal a quick Copy button, allowing you to instantly copy the formatted text to your clipboard without opening an edit screen
