I have looked for a thread but I haven't found it. I apologize if this is old news for people.
I am trying to get used to maps. I used Roll20 and the Beyond20 browser plugin did a pretty good job.
But I am trying to support DND beyond and using your VTT.
I have imported a map, but after I populate it with my monsters and set the fog of war, how do I save it for later?
If a session ends how do I save it, so we can come back to it?
I don't see any save functions and whenever I open it up again, the map I uploaded is there, but the tokens and the fog of war is not the way I set it up.
Do I need to repopulate the map with fog and tokens every session? That's kind of a deal breaker.
It's odd that it isn't the same when you return. Basically it should be 'one map one instance'.. so any map you have on your list STAYS the way you left it (or should). I went into a game I'm running to check, and each map I've added the group to and run encounters on is still in the state I left it, including any fog they hadn't explored past. Once you import the map are you editing it in the MY MAPS section or using the '+' button to add it to your working inventory? You should add it to your inventory (so instead of going into 'Map Browser' it's just listed with your active maps). If it's happening from THERE, it could be a glitch.

Thanks again.
