# Curator

In RhinoArtisan, we believe that inside any jewellery designer lays a curator who safeguards the designer’s creations and works of art. These works of art only grow in prestige and value over time. A curator is the keeper or custodian of a museum.

Hence, our curator holds a treasure for every designer by featuring an innovative library of elements that span a variety of themes, giving designers quick and efficient access to a variety of predefined elements.

The curator enhances workflow efficiency by organizing essential Rhino files into proper folders tailored for jewellers.&#x20;

In the "Findings" folder, you'll find ready-to-use earring posts with or without push butterfly clasps, as well as various clasp types like omega, latch backs, and lever backs. The "Display Elements" folder includes items like a ring case and necklace display for creating more detailed design images. The panel also offers floral motifs, music elements, and more, with future additions planned.

The most valuable feature is the ability to create custom folders for frequently used elements, keeping them organized and accessible with a single click. This eliminates the need to browse through files, streamlining your design process and improving workflow.

Additional Curator collections are available in your Dashboard on the RhinoArtisan website, ready to be downloaded and imported into your Curator section. These collections are regularly updated, with new elements and entirely new collections added over time.

{% hint style="info" %}
Curator saves the parametric history of your designs, so when you use them again, you can edit them without any issues.
{% endhint %}

### Where are the Curator files located, and what format do they have?

All the files are inside the user’s folder in the Curator folder. If you need to move them to another computer or share them with your team, copy and paste the folder, and you’re all set. The file format is 3DM, just like in Rhino, so you can open them on any computer with Rhino installed.

To open the Curator folder directly, click on "Open Curator Folder."

### How can I remove an element ?&#x20;

Open the folder on which the element is contained, select it and erase the file.

### Work as a team remotely

If we want multiple people to work in the same Curator folder and enable real-time synchronization, you can place it in a network folder. In [Settings > Artisan](#user-content-fn-1)[^1][ ](https://docs.rhinoartisan.com/~/revisions/BqUcGdMiz4FYKlkXEFYE/user-interface/options), you can select the folder.

### How to reactivate the *Curator* panel if it has been closed

If the **Curator** panel has been closed for any reason, you can easily bring it back. Go to the **File** menu at the top of RhinoArtisan. On the right side of this menu, you will find a row of icons that allow you to toggle all the available RhinoArtisan panels. Locate and click on the **Curator** icon to display the panel again.
