What happened?
When reviewing potential shark matches all the dots cover the shark image which makes it quite difficult to review the match. It means you end up having to open every shark match, then open the gallery and try and compare side by side using separate windows. Its quite time consuming and isnt the best user experience for us trying to review thousands of images - is it possible for you to add a toggle button that lets us hide/show the dots when reviewing potential matches?

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m changing this to a feature request for now. I know we’re working on adding MiewID to Sharkbook, but I don’t have a timeline for it. MiewID would eliminate the need for spot mapping at all.

That would be exciting - do I need to help prepare anything for that?

Not yet, but if we need volunteers to share their data for training, we typically need marked individuals with multiple viewpoints whose identities haven been confidently validated.
