My uploaded content (maps/handouts/tokens) are appearing in all of my campaigns. How to make them show up in only one?

I'm running ToA and DoMM for two different groups and have two different campaigns created, one for each.  I'm uploading my own maps and tokens to each campaign but they are appearing in both.  I'm getting ToA maps in my DoMM campaign and vice versa.  Same with the monster tokens and handouts.  This is creating too much clutter in the image tab for both campaigns.  I have to sort through two different campaigns worth of content to find what I'm looking for.  Is there a way to make uploads campaign specific?  Thanks. 
The Art Library is not campaign specific. It is account specific, so everything that you have uploaded to your account's Art Library will show up in the 'Recent Uploads' tab.&nbsp; What you can do as you upload items is put them into folders that are campaign specific. Keep in mind that you will still see everything in the 'Recent Uploads', and anything you delete from 'Recent Uploads' will be deleted from your Art Library, even if it is a folder or currently used in a game. <a href="https://help.roll20.net/hc/en-us/articles/360039675113-Art-Library#ArtLibrary-Tags" rel="nofollow">https://help.roll20.net/hc/en-us/articles/360039675113-Art-Library#ArtLibrary-Tags</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6619688/managing-art-library-outside-of-a-game-menu/?pageforid=6619867#post-6619867" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6619688/managing-art-library-outside-of-a-game-menu/?pageforid=6619867#post-6619867</a> Another suggestion that may help is if you name items before they're uploaded according to which game you're going to use them in, so that way you can easily search for them in your Art Library. This is assuming you're only using those items in one game versus the other.

You should organize your uploads as soon as you upload them. Put them into folders, tag them, etc.,&nbsp; I recommend using a Library Game when you’re uploading and organizing your Art Library.&nbsp;
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could organize your graphic assets on your computer in folders and have them just sync with Roll20. &nbsp;Kind of like Dropbox and all those other cloud services do. &nbsp;I mean, this is how we did it 10, 20, 30 years ago with FTP to keep remote files and folder structures in sync. &nbsp; Just saying - There are numerous posts asking Roll20 to help us DMs/GMs by improving campaign, file, map organization and custom compendiums. &nbsp;Instead, we get new toolbars. &nbsp;
In the ancient days of MSDOS, the directory (now known as folder) structure was one of the basic tools used to organizing files; a practiced that remained relevant for decades. I don't understand how that concept got lost?

My understanding is that some of the competitors to Roll20 already support this form of synchronization.&nbsp; I'm considering running a Non-D&amp;D game, Maybe Savage Worlds or Traveller on one of their new competitors to see how it compares.&nbsp;&nbsp; The only thing anchoring me here at this point is my sunk costs in D&amp;D core materials and macros I've developed.&nbsp; If I can replicate that somewhere else and make my life easier as a DM/GM, I may transition.&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been a PRO subscriber for nearly 10 years.&nbsp; It is my opinion that Roll20 Focuses on the Player community (who often are free users) and not on their DM/GMs (Many of which are Pro $99/year).&nbsp; Have you seen how many feature requests exist that have been sitting in the queue for 7+ years (custom compendium, better way to organize pages, ...).&nbsp; They added the Doors/Windows feature as a response to a competitor.&nbsp; They updated their toolbars (Lipstick on a pig) as a response to a competitor.&nbsp; &nbsp;Both of these are nice QOL interface improvements, that really don't benefit the DM/GM much, but look good on a list of features PowerPoint slide.&nbsp; What happens when D&amp;D Beyond releases its own VTT?&nbsp; Roll20 will tank if most DM's are like me and have already purchased all their digital content there as well.&nbsp; Everything a DM/GM does is awkward and/or difficult on Roll20: Managing Maps Managing Graphic Assets Managing Sound Assets Managing Lighting Managing and organizing handouts Adding and managing NPCs&nbsp; Creating hyperlinks between handouts Monitoring the API for crashes Organizing your campaign Notes (I use a 3rd party tool "legendkeeper") Running combats Searching Forums Prepping the next session I'm back down to running just a single campaign, and once that is finished, I plan to explore some of the newer competitors.&nbsp;
