How do I reset the Fog of War on Jumpgate?

I have been moving tokens and testing them, but I want to make sure that when my players jump in, it is reset...how do I go about doing this?  It seems nothing I've tried is working...

Hi Nick B.,  You seem to be asking about Fog of War but describing Dynamic Lighting, perhaps with Explorer Mode enabled.  Could you describe the problem in more detail? What would you like to see?

Hi Nick! Also, if you want to run tests like this, the acid test for what the players experience is to use a  Dummy Account .
hmm...I thought I replied to these, but I'm not seeing them in the thread. I guess I'm not totally clear on the difference between FoW and Explorer Mode in my usecase.  Basically, I want to be able to reset Explorer Mode for a particular token. What Keith suggested is probably where I'll end up!

I believe resetting Explorer mode is all or none. I don't think you can fine tune it to a particular player.
I would be completely alright with resetting it entirely - I'm still in the map-building process, so more than anything it's for testing.  I don't want a character to jump in and have everything explored already. which is where the dummy account makes more sense. However - resetting doesn't seem to work regardless.
Have you tried deleting the token and dragging in a new one?…
If you switch to the Fog of War tool, there are two tabs at the top of the tool - Permanent, and Explorable.  If you select Explorable, and then the Add option, you should be able to "add" explorable darkness, which has the effect of erasing areas that have been explored.  If you want to erase all of the areas which have been explored, you should be able to "fill page" with explorable darkness. Does that do what you want to do?
@Evil Donno I'm having difficulty doing quote replies (it's officially PEBCAK) but yes, this did what I was looking for.
