Basic and advanced tabs

Hi I'm going through the beginner token features guide and got stuck here - no basic and advanced tabs in the token settings. According to the help files there should be two tabs, plus auras under bar 3, etc. Cheers

That is because the UI is going through some changes.  Since the dynamic lighting system is still in flux with the old system not phased out yet, but the new one being presented as the primary, I expect no one has wanted to update the UI images in the help since they will be changing at least once more before long. All the options should be there, just organized differently.  If you get stuck on something and can't find the option, ask.
The token settings had a redesign a few months ago (a year ago? time is elusive); the documentation you are looking at may be out of date. Scrolling down will give you options for auras. Please note that if you are using the tutorial, it is *extremely* out of date and should not be relied upon.
Ah. Can't believe I didn't see the scroll bar! Much appreciated. I'll be more wary of the instructions and look out for the slightly different organizationing. Lesson learned!

Edited as I was shown in error in my understanding by GiGs and Andreas (see below where they correct me) The Wiki and other things are being phased out of use and Roll20 dev team have been recommending the use of the Roll20 Help Center . It is more up to date. Now Jaim, to your specific issue. Take a look here in the Token Features in the Roll20 Help Center. What you mentioned in your original post is about half to 2/3 down the page, if I understand what you posted.

The roll20 team created a help center. I can think of understandable reasons why they did that. , They update it occasionally. But the wiki is not being phased out - it's just not been updated by roll20 staff any more. It's purely a community-created resource now, and is updated more rapidly and with more content than the official help center (and Andreas does a fantastic job with many updates - an unsung hero of the community). I recommend people using the wiki over the help center, because it is better (though the official help center is prettier).

Wrong, the wiki remains as an active Community Wiki, it just means Roll20 have moved the official documentation to the Help Center. I'd currently give a 60/40 split on the Community Wiki having more complete info on any random topic. The Community Wiki is miles better on several aspects, such as info on macro creations and sheet building Here is a few pointers on the spread of information: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Community_Wiki#Help_Center_vs._Community_Wiki.2C_which_has_better_info.3F" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Community_Wiki#Help_Center_vs._Community_Wiki.2C_which_has_better_info.3F</a>
