The Art Vault

The Art Vault is your private archive. Families use it to keep every drawing that comes home from school; artists use it to record everything they make, including pieces that are not for sale. Nothing in the Vault is ever public.

ChainChum started because of the Vault: our founders hated throwing away their children's art during spring cleaning and could not remember the stories behind each drawing. The Vault keeps the photo and the story together.

#Add a piece

1. Open Vault from the tab bar or side menu.
2. Press Add to Vault and take or choose a photo.
3. The piece opens straight away. Add a title, a note with the story behind it, the date it was made on and some tags.
4. Press Save.

#Find things later

Search the Vault by title, or scroll through the grid. Pieces you have put up for sale show a Listed badge.

#List a Vault piece for sale

Open a piece and press List this. ChainChum creates a draft listing with a public copy of the photo and the same title, and links the two; the Vault photo itself stays private. Finish the details in the editor and publish as usual; see Create a listing.

#Remove a piece

Open it and press Remove from Vault. Removing a Vault item does not affect a listing made from it.

#Privacy

Vault photos are stored in a private area that only you can open: no one else can see them, even with a link. They are included when you download your data, and deleted when you close your account.
