All Threshold Virtual Tours should follow the ‣. Occasionally we ask someone to recapture if there was a camera or user issue that caused some sort of visual distortion of the panos or tours. This is how Content Production Team (CPT) determines whether a virtual tour needs to be recaptured or not.

⚠️ **Key Terms:
Recapture -** General term used for anytime a location needs their content to be updated, whether by Creator mistake, customer request, or a general refresh due to old content
Refresh - Content at a location requires a partial or full update because existing content is now inaccurate and/or old/outdated
Go Back - New content that has been flagged by Content QA because content is unworkable.

Criteria for requesting a Recapture
- We are unable to edit the content and fix the problem (e.g. there is significant motion blur or the panos do not create a linear path)
- No mistake was made by the Creator, rather, for a technical or circumstantial reason, the user experience is significantly degraded (e.g. a camera-related issue or problem)
- Due to inclement weather, the Creator was not able to finish the capture session (missing exterior imagery)
- A mistake was made by the Creator that significantly degrades the user experience, including but not limited to:
- Missing Grandview shot resulting in a lack of exterior context
- Missing content - full spaces not captured that result in key aspects of said location not being highlighted
- Bad transitions resulting in the user going through objects, doors, corners, walls, etc.
- The Creator or the camera/equipment is visible in the experience
- Technical/equipment difficulties that are the result of Creator error
