What is the new Explore page for exterior projects?
The new Explore page is a redesigned way to view and work with exterior project data. It uses the same layout as the new interior Explore experience, so interior and exterior projects look and behave the same way. Projects with hundreds of maps and thousands of images load in seconds.
The new Explore page puts these tools in one interface:
- Maps and dates, including a date range filter
- Compare mode for viewing two maps side by side
- Annotations
- 3D
- Media, including photos, videos, and panos
- Field notes
- Overlays
- Snapshots
Availability: Who has access?
- The new Explore page is an Open Beta feature available to all customers.
- Each person turns the beta on or off with the beta toggle. The toggle applies to your user, so teammates on the same project may see different versions of the Explore page.
- Some features, such as Horizontal Map Alignment, are available only in the new Explore page.
How to turn on the new Explore page
- Open your project and go to the Explore page.
- At the top right of the page, next to the blue Share button, turn on the beta toggle.
To return to the previous Explore page, turn the toggle off.
A short tour appears the first time you use the new Explore page. Dismiss it from the first screen if you do not want to walk through it.
Limitations
- If you need a tool that does not appear in the new Explore page, turn the beta toggle off to return to the previous Explore page.
- Because the toggle applies to each user, people on the same project may see different versions of the Explore page.
