P: Allow facial recognition feature to re-index a folder/collection

Currently it is not possible to invoke a re-indexing of facial recognition data at either the global or folder/collection level. For my purposes re-indexing at the folder and collection level would be sufficient.

Reason: when a face is removed from a previously indexed image it is not possible to automatically recognize faces other than reviewing many images and manually applying a face region.

I have images taken moments apart of a model who doesn't move that are not merging together. There is something wrong with the algorithm to some extent. The photos can be next to each other 2 seconds apart and not perceptively different and it won't recognize them as the same person

Any chance of adding this to Lightroom CC?

Unfortunately, this does me no good whatsoever as I refuse to switch to the subscription version of Lightroom.

Lightroom 7.3 is now available https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom-classic-7-3-is-now-available

This version of Lightroom contains a much improved face engine and the ability to re-index photos for faces. See

Where should I be looking for the planned features of the next update? Is there a website with this listed.

Also Simon, I have a lot of men with facial hair changing over time and also a good number of African Americans in my photos. If you were interested, I would love to talk about the handling of these images.
