Hey everyone!
We’re incredibly excited to roll out a new pair of major features to Roll20 today: Page Folders and the Party Toolbox.
Better organization of pages in Roll20 games is one of our oldest and most-upvoted suggestions on the forums, dating back to the launch of Roll20. It was a larger undertaking than you might imagine to get it done, including a lot of user research and design work to make it intuitive and easy to use, as well as significant dev work from the team. But we think you’ll find that Page Folders makes your Roll20 games run much better in keeping things organized and preparing for your sessions.
The new Party Toolbox is an expansion of the bookmark ribbon that we’ve used since the earliest days of Roll20. That functionality is still there, but we’ve made it much clearer to see what’s going on by showing you who’s included when you’re moving the Party Ribbon around on the screen. In addition to that, if you are a GM that tends to split the party, or you run games that have lots of players, the additional new options here should make your life much easier. You can now drag and drop individual players right from the Party Toolbox, creating little sub-groups that you can move as a whole. The list itself is incredibly handy for seeing at a glance what players are on what pages. And for the first time, you can move a player to a page even if they aren’t currently online in your game!
There’s a ton of new functionality here, and if you want all the details be sure to check out the blog post that we published today with handy videos and explanations of each feature. Keep in mind you need to be opted in to the new UI Redesign to access Page Folders (as well as the new Measure Tool and more!)
We welcome your feedback on all of this new functionality, as well as how we can continue to improve it and make it even better going forward. Thanks!
