Player Tokens no longer drag-able; can't add from Character sheet.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry ahead of time if this has been addressed, but there are a slew of "can't add token" type bugs and after sifting for two weeks I can't find an answer. The Problem: I'm DMing this game. Neither I nor the players are able to add the tokens from their character sheets. Normally, the four-arrow icon in the left corner of a character image (Bio & Info tab of any given character sheet) allows an image to be dragged onto the screen, which then becomes a controllable token linked to that player-character. Suddenly and without any obvious cause, this no longer works. Not I nor my players are able to drag these tokens on screen. Assigning Tokens a poor substitute: While most of the time this is okay, because I'm able to prep a scene, add tokens, and then assign those tokens to the players, most nights they make a choice to go somewhere I don't expect. If I have to add a map or return to an old scene, I'm left with a boring pause as I drag out each token from my Art Library and individually assign each token to a player. I have a 7 player party, so the delay is lengthy enough to bother me and create a lull. Is there anything I can do to restore this function? Any help is appreciated. What we've tried:  Has been tried by all party members, on Chrome, Brave, Opera, and Firefox. Deleting and re-adding token images to character sheets did not resolve this. Deleting all instances of player tokens on other maps did not resolve this. Starting a new scene did not resolve this. Attempting to add tokens to maps it previously worked on has not resolved this.

Dragging from the sheet has never been the intended method. It produces only a graphic, that is not linked to the sheet, nor is it sized correctly. The intended method is to use the Journal Tab. Set up a default token for each character and you will have them ready and perfect each time. Here is the wiki article on  Linking Tokens to Journals Here is a  video  which demonstrates the procedure

Holy crow - can't believe we didn't know this. Immediately fixed. We've been playing on here for TWO YEARS! No idea. You are the OG, and you can't believe how grateful I am for your response.

No worries! It's a very common misconception.
