A pinboard image can be a reference photo, an image with a source URL, or a placement of a library product. Only a pin linked to a library product can become a product row automatically when approved.

Add a linked product

Use Add image → From product library and select a product, or Add image → Import from URL to import a vendor product page. Double-click the resulting pin, or select Details, to review its product record. Check the name, variant, image, vendor, price and dimensions. A caption such as Oak armchair is useful presentation text, but it does not prove that a product record is linked. If you uploaded a reference image first, add the intended product from the library and use that linked placement for procurement approval. Pasting a source URL onto the reference image only attaches a link.

Approve from inside Atelier

Open a product pin’s drawer and choose Approve. When the schedule picker opens, choose the destination schedule or Create new schedule, then confirm Add to schedule. The product is added as Approved, or its existing row in that schedule is reused. Check the schedule name and row after approving. Approval of a plain image stays on the board and does not add an item to the library or schedule. Before sharing, create a schedule in the same project and choose it under Approved items will be added to in Share. A client approving a linked product adds or updates its row there automatically. In Share, select an existing schedule or create a named empty schedule before creating the link. A guest cannot create a missing schedule themselves. If the link later has no valid destination, create and select one in Atelier before asking the client to retry.

Understand what stays connected

The schedule row receives an initial price when it is created. Its job-specific cost is then stored on the row; changing the library price does not automatically reprice an existing row. Review cost and quantity before using the row in an invoice or order. A product may appear on several boards. A copy is another placement, so do not assume a decision on one placement approves every copy or another project’s schedule. Check each placement’s details and destination.

If the client changes their mind

Review the pin and its linked schedule row together. Rejecting or resetting a pin is not a reliable substitute for changing procurement records. Confirm the schedule’s status and any purchase order separately before taking further action. Continue with Sharing and client feedback or Item statuses.
