The time travel dropdown at the top of the walkmode view contains all 360° photos and 2D photos of one waypoint taken at different times. This feature is very useful to visualize progress in a project. This dropdown also contains other data sets showing the scene in a 1.5m radius around the currently active waypoint.

1. Click the icon to go to the walk mode view.

2. Open the dropdown list at the top left.

3. For a better visualization, click the icon.
The photos will be displayed in a thumbnail view.

3. Select the photo you want.

Clicking the three-dots menu of the selected 360° photo provides options to edit, move, download and delete the 360° photo.

If you have uploaded photos at different points in time, you can create a so-called time travel that shows your project at various stages.

Visualization of 360° photos and 2D Photos in Dropdown and Viewer

Photos from the same date are grouped in a single entry in the time travel dropdown.

You can either click these photos or go through them with the arrow keys.

If a capture contains a 360° photo and a 2D photo, the entry in the dropdown will show the 2D photo as an annotation.

Clicking the 360° photo will open the waypoint and show the 2D photo as an icon in the Viewer. Hovering the mousepointer over the icon, will show a preview of the 2D photo. Clicking the icon will open the 2D photo in a new browser tab.
