[Noob] Macros wont show in the sidebar to be selectable

Edited 1675438048
[SOLVED] Greetings fellow nerds, I have google and searched but it seems i either got a brain freeze and do something wrong or Tiamat is cursing me. I have added all those macros i usually have in my games, but for some reason they dont show up inside the game to be selectable.  I start a new campaign about once or twice a year so maybe i just forgot howto. Please advice on how to get the macros selectable in the game...please and thank you. Please ad vice.
You add the Mod (API). Macros needs to be created again or you will need to go to your all campaign create a character sheet call Macro Mule, go to the Abilities tab of the character sheet and copy and paste all your macros. this way you can use Transmogrifier and export you macro mule sheet to any game. For more information read this post: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macro_Character_Sheet" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macro_Character_Sheet</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/11121468/5e-macro-mule-best-practices-slash-tips-slash-organization#post-11122726" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/11121468/5e-macro-mule-best-practices-slash-tips-slash-organization#post-11122726</a>
In your upper screen shot you show the MODs (Used to be called APIs) that you have loaded in your game. Not all MODS (and apparently none of the ones that you have listed) automatically create macros for their use.&nbsp; In your game, you need to create the macros that call these functions. For example, here are the macros that I have that uses GroupInitiative MOD to roll initiative for a group of tokens then sort them in order, and a second one that runs the ApplyDamage MOD. to a selected group of tokens: I have all of the macros that I've written or copied from others saved as plain text files (Notepad) on my PC so can recreate them in a new game with copy-and-paste.

Hi SargeA9er! Although there are some cases where a macro needs to be in the collections tab, it might be worth looking into a&nbsp; Macro Character Sheet . The macros are super easy to transport from game to game, and the syntax is usually more forgiving.
@keithcurtis Thank you!! I most definitely will!
