Collectorlog has three separate sharing features. They look similar but serve different purposes.
Comparing the three
| Feature | What it is | Requires | Financial data visible |
|---|---|---|---|
| QR | Quick-open barcode for reopening a record on another device | PLUS or above | No (private record) |
| Public Share | A public web page for a single record | PRO or above | No |
| WTS | "Want to Sell" publication to a sale or forum context | PRO or above | No |
Public Share
Public Share creates a public web page for a single record. Anyone with the link can view the item's name, images, status, and condition notes. Private fields — purchase price, deposits, taxes, channel tags — never appear on the public page.
QR
Each record has its own QR code in the share tools on the record detail page. Scan it on another device to jump straight to that record in your Vault without searching. QR is a convenience tool, not a public page.
WTS (Want to Sell)
WTS publishes a record to a sale or forum context — the listing goes where prospective buyers look. Think of Public Share as "showing my item"; WTS is "selling my item."
Publishing a Want to Sell listing
WTS has strict preconditions so buyers only see serious listings. Before you can publish:
- The record's status must be appropriate for sale (for example, In Collection or For Sale).
- The record must have at least three images.
- You must attach a photo taken today to confirm current condition.
- Your forum and WTS settings must be complete (see the Settings chapter).
If any precondition is missing, Collectorlog tells you which one before you publish. Successfully publishing a WTS listing does not guarantee a sale — it only completes the publication.
