Was going to say something about no scroll bar (before you get into map browser), but it is there now...Maybe I'm going crazy.
But it doesn't let you scroll to the bottom; I'm missing at least 3 that I can't scroll to, down at the bottom. Have to delete maps to get to the bottom ones... Or radically change the zoom...
How do i get maps to even load up? All i get is a load error. Ive tried everything to get it to work. I can’t get ahold of tech support to actually get support…. My first DM-ing Game is on Sunday. HELP

Is there any way to rename a map that comes out of the "basic maps" area? I would like to rename the created map "Mushroom Cave (2)" or whatever to something substantive.
Is there a way to rotate the map you upload so its not vertical? i bought a czepecku map pack and they are great,but they are vertical, and its a lot of open space on the sides id like to mitigate.

Not at the moment. You're better off preparing your image before you upload it. Open it in Paint or Gimp or another app that can rotate and save images.
Is there a way to keep the map open for ease of use with PbP Games.........its kind of only useful at the moment while the DM is actively online.
Not right now, and unlikely in the future. It's an active connection, so if the DM isn't around, it will disconnect to save network resources.
For PbP, you'd be better having a screenshot of the map stored at a location, with the DM updating it after each round. I'm not really sure how you'd be able to access it otherwise.

Can you please add status markers for tokens? This seems like a really obvious thing to have, so I can mark tokens as poisoned or incapacitated or prone, etc
I don't see this posted elsewhere so I'll ask it here: Is there a way to use shared content to select monster tokens? For context, I have a player in my campaign who owns a bunch of books on DDB, and is sharing them with the campaign (including 2014 MM). I can access his content in encounters, players can use it for leveling up their characters, but I can't access those monsters as tokens.

For some bizarre reason, the VTT doesn't allow shared content to be used. I have the same problem with my wife trying to DM for me, when I own everything.
I having a weird issue in which the fog of war between two maps are syncing, so as players move back and forth between them, areas I reveal in say, map 1_E, are also revealed, in the same position, in map 1_F and vice-versa. It is a nightmare, as it often shows areas they have not explored yet because their relative position was revealed in the synced map. Even more weird, of all the maps I have opened and prepared for this campaign, only those two have their FoW synced. Does anyone has any idea of what might be happening?
It would be a shame if I had to remove and re-add one of those maps to fix it, as it would go down to the bottom of the navigation bar and make accessing it a real chore.
for some reason one of my players can see through the fog of war and I can't seem to fix it. it's only on his phone and he has his own account he is not signed into mine or anything like that. the fog of war can be seen but its only a light gray. he can see the full map at all times. we have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. he can't see through it on his computer just on his phone. any ideas?

slight different question where do i go to make map/quests?
For maps, if your using dnd beyond you go to the tools tab, you will find Maps and encounter builder there.

Disappointing but workable. Thx.

ModeratorYou'll need to own it yourself to use it in Maps.

Thanks, I was afraid that was the case. You're right, it's very weird that it's the only tool that doesn't allow content sharing.
