When reviewing a site between visits, it was hard to tell which direction a 360 image was facing, when it was captured, or how it compared to an earlier walk. The site monitoring viewer now gives you that orientation and context directly inside the platform.
Compass overlay and live heading. Every 360 panorama now displays a compass overlay that tracks heading as you pan. If you're oriented toward the north curtain wall or a specific column line, the heading updates in real time — no mental math from the thumbnail or file name.
View modes. Open a 360 image and choose between three layouts using the controls in the viewer toolbar: full, mini (picture-in-picture), and split. Split mode places two panoramas side by side, which is useful when comparing progress across two different site visits on the same level.
Capture date badges and history. Each image is now labeled Latest or Historical so you can tell at a glance whether you're looking at the most recent walk or an earlier one. If you open a historical image, a banner appears with a Jump to latest link that takes you directly to the current capture for that location. No need to manually sort through uploads by date.
Snapshot. A Snapshot button in the viewer toolbar copies the current 360 view to your clipboard so you can drop it directly into a report, email, or RFI. No screen recording or third-party tool needed.
Capture dates management. The site monitoring admin panel now includes a Capture Dates tab. From there you can create, edit, or delete capture dates, assign them to a specific level, and set a status. The tab also surfaces image counts per capture date and flags duplicates so you can clean up redundant entries in bulk. This keeps your timeline tidy when multiple uploads land on the same day or level.
EXIF data on upload. During bulk upload, heading, GPS coordinates, and camera model are now read directly from each image's metadata and stored with the asset. This is what powers the compass overlay — no manual tagging required. For cameras that don't embed heading in EXIF (or need recalibration), see the Theta camera calibration guide in your team's documentation.
A few things to know: compass heading display depends on heading data being present in the image's EXIF. Images uploaded before this release will show a compass overlay only after their metadata has been backfilled. The comparison mode in split view works across any two captures on the same level — you're not limited to comparing adjacent dates.
