The short answer
Panoramr picks are tours and Panoramrs (360 photo posts) that our team chooses to show first on Explore, marked Panoramr pick. Only our team picks: the app has no button to ask for a pick or to turn one down. When a tour or a Panoramr of yours is picked, a line in your notifications says so.
On the website's Explore
At the top of Explore, before the list of tours:
- The big card is the newest pick: its picture, the
Panoramr pickbadge, the tour's name and description, who made it, and Open tour. - A row headed Panoramr picks has the next eight picks, newest first. On a narrow screen it scrolls sideways.
- See all picks, when there are more, lists every pick, newest first. The category list and the search still narrow it, and All tours goes back to the whole of Explore.
The big card and the row show on the first page of Explore while it shows all categories, with no search, and not only Panoramas or People I follow. A picked tour carries the Panoramr pick badge wherever it is listed on Explore.
A tour can be picked while it is on Explore (see Share a tour), is not in the trash, and has not been taken offline by our team.
On the social site's Explore
The social site's Explore, app.panoramr.com/explore, has two rows at the top of its first page while nothing is searched:
- Panoramr picks: the newest eight picked Panoramrs, each marked
Panoramr pick. See all lists every pick, newest first, underEvery Panoramr pick, newest first, with All of Explore to go back. A picked Panoramr in the Most liked list carries the mark too. - Picked tours: the newest eight tours picked for the website's Explore. Each opens the tour's page on the social site, and See all goes to the website's list of picks.
A Panoramr can be picked while its photo is not in the Trash and no report about it is waiting for our team. Nothing by someone you have blocked, or who has blocked you, is in either row. See Post a 360 photo to Explore.
When yours is picked
A line in your notifications reads Panoramr pick, then Your tour "<tour>" was picked for Explore. or Your Panoramr "<title>" was picked for Explore. It is not emailed. See Notifications.
When a pick leaves
| What happens | The pick |
|---|---|
| You take the tour off Explore, it is moved to the trash, or our team takes it offline while a report is looked at | Leaves the big card and the row, and comes back when the tour is on Explore again |
| A report decision takes the tour off Explore or offline | Ends for good |
| The photo of a picked Panoramr goes to the Trash | Leaves the row, and comes back when the photo is restored |
| You delete the Panoramr | Ends with it |
| Our team removes the pick | Ends. Nobody is told, and the tour or Panoramr stays on Explore like any other |
| Newer picks are made | The row shows the newest eight, so an older pick moves to See all picks or See all |
Troubleshooting
My tour was picked but it is not in the row. Eight picks fit in the row and the newest is the big card: open See all picks. If it is not there either, check that the tour is still on Explore.
I was told my Panoramr was picked, and I cannot find it. Open the social site's Explore without a search, and press See all beside Panoramr picks. A Panoramr whose photo is in the Trash is not shown until you restore it.
How do I get my tour picked? There is no request for it in the app: picks are chosen by our team from what is on Explore.
