Changing your tour thumbnail on REA sites

Overview

The room thumbnails shown on realestate.com.au (REA) come directly from the initial pano angles set within your iGUIDE tour. By updating these angles in the iGUIDE Portal, you control which view appears in the room shortcut tiles on the property details page.

Once saved, updated thumbnails sync automatically to REA—usually within two hours—without requiring you to resubmit the tour.
