Short walkthroughs of the app.

Can I export my inventory?
Yes, inventory export is available on paid plans. Open Browse, apply the search and filters you want, then choose PDF or CSV from the download menu. The export uses the items in that list. Kept exports are under Exported files in Workbench. An export is a snapshot, so generate a new one after changing your records and check its contents before sharing.

Look it up before you decide

How can I organise belongings during an estate clear-out?
Start with one room or a few belongings. In samla.ai, keep photos, identifying details, locations and family notes together before deciding what to keep, give away or sell. Share an individual item page when someone only needs to see one object, and check the page before sending its link. For a shared inventory, choose between read-only collection access and inviting family members to catalog with you.
Decide what comes with you
