Is there a way to expand maps up and/or to the left instead of down and/or to the right?

Normally when you increase a map's size, it will expand to the right and down depending on if the width or height is increased. However, is there a way to make the map expand to the left or up instead? Asking because I want to expand the world map for my game as the game goes on, but if my players take an interest in an area to the north and want to explore it further, I'd rather not have to shift everything on the map and token layers down so that they can do that. Plus, in this campaign we're using Fog of War on the world map, which would be a lot more difficult to re-adjust.
Are you using one of the Hex grid types on the page in question? I think the behaviour you're describing is isolated to them. You might try disabling the grid, here.
It does use Hex grids, but when I expand a map with a square grid/no grid, it still only seems to expand down and to the right.

No, changing the map size will always expand to the bottom and left. You could potentially have an API script shift everything for you when that happens, but that wouldn't touch the FoW (although if you have API access, you have dynamic lighting access as well, and the API could shift the DL walls).

There's a suggestion for this: Expanding a map in the left or up direction.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2504328/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2504328/slug%7D</a> Maybe this script?
