It was online for just a bit. My impression was generally pretty satisfied. All my sources showed up in a list, well sorted, and I could just choose a picture, see it for myself and decide to show it to others. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be an option to upload my own handouts, which would really be a missed opportunity at this point. But since it was taken off again, we couldn't tell now.
Appreciate the update, LT. Following up on what KnightLight828 asked, will handouts eventually let us upload our own images the same way the VTT does for maps?

I will pass the question along and get an answer for you today :)

Hey everyone! Following yesterday's delay, we're very happy to announce that Reveals is live now!
From the Maps Product Manager, Zac Cohn:
Thank y'all for your patience as we got this out the door. This is our video update walking you through the feature, how it works, and what's in there.
I'm excited we were able to support over 10,000 images from our back catalogue across over 100 book sources. One of the coolest parts about working on this project was how much of our incredible art I got to look at every day.
Also, to proactively address a question about user uploaded reveals. This is something we want to support, but there's more technical infrastructure work we have that must be done before we can offer this (for stickers, too).
We decided it was better to get this out to you now, then a second release later to support user uploaded content.
You can also watch Zac give you a behind-the-scenes look at Reveals on YouTube right now, and try it for yourself within the Maps VTT!
Last week's announcement said the "Art & Handout Reveals in Maps" was planned for launch today, December 16th.
It's now the 16th, and I can't find it or any update about it. Has it been delayed?
It would be pretty disappointing to miss the first promised date right after it was announced

See my thread that I posted shortly after this one. I am getting tired of Beyond's promises that they keep underdelivering.
Could be that this was a feature that was rushed again and needs time in the cooker.
Came to the forums for this question.

If there is not an ability to upload my own images, what is the point of this. That would be infuriating! I wonder if they Realized this last moment.

Thank you for sharing this! I would love to see this get implemented. How will we know when a final decision is made, one way or the other?
