Using maps from different purchased modules into a game

Good morning, from some searching, I've found that the  Transmogrifier is the only way to transfer maps between games or to use maps from another purchased module into another one. But I'm wondering if there's a way to use maps in my current game from modules I have purchased or a way to see all the maps from all the modules I have purchased? I understand the perk of the Pro level  Transmogrifier perk from moving almost anything from one game to the other, especially from custom things I would have created, but I'm looking to be able to use the maps from the different modules I purchased over the years. Like I'd like to be able to add maps from my purchase of the Pathfinder Starter Set into my custom 5e game without having to jump through a million hoops or use my cloud storage by downloading the map and adding it to a game as a new asset.  Is that something that can be done? or is the  Transmogrifier really the only option? Thanks
Other than "jumping through hoops" as you described in your post, the transmogrifier is the only way. If you don't want to pay for a full year of a Pro subscription, you can create games using the modules from which you want grab content, buy one month of Pro, use the transmogrifier to copy the content that you want into your game, then downgrade your pro subscription. You can also create a "library" game and copy the content into that, then whenever you want to start a new game, copy the "library" and delete anything that you won't be needing. One of the best things about using the transmogrifier vs. manually copying content to your library is that transmogrifying a map page will also bring along any tokens or other graphics that are set up on that page, and if you transmogrify character sheets before transmogrifying the map, any tokens on that map will automatically link to the appropriate character sheets. BTW: There's no limit to how many games you can have in your account, and they don't use up your storage quota; only i mages, snimations, a udio, custom token markers and PDFs that you upload to your libraries use up your allotted space.

Hi Francis! It can be done by assigning the map as the token for a character in one game, and then transferring that character to another game via the character vault, but that's probably the jumping through hoops method you were referring to?
Good morning y'all Thanks Rick for the tips and tricks. I was really trying to not spend more money. Thanks Keith, I didn't think of the character vault trick. I was simply adding the map as the token to an NPC and then from the edit MPC map, right clicking and selecting "open image in a new tab" from there I was able to get the map and re-import it. I'll try to character trick, I've never used it between different systems though. I'll have to try that. Cheers
