Handout Search

Is this a pro or a GM-only feature? Today after tons of hours of roll20 play I realized my players have to scroll through over a hundred handouts as they do not have a search textfield. Is this something maybe for a suggestion?

They only have to search through hundreds if you assigned them all to your players. As a GM you will see all but a player wont. A work around is to make a handout that is an index of all of them then archive the hundreds of handouts. To make an index handout. You make a normal handout and put the name of the handout you wanted listed like this [Name] in the text field viewable to players. Now if a player clicks on that name, that handout will open. Sorry for any misspells and lack of links. Using my phone to reply.

They are for all the players and there is a good point for them having them. So this is a GM only feature and therefore worthy a suggestion? Or is this a "pro" feature and limited to subscribers on purpose (which would make a suggestion pretty useless)?

It is a GM feature.

Thank you Silvyre, I am aware of that, but that is not what I asked for at all :)

You might do well by your players to organize your handouts into [nested] folders. I might task players with this by temporarily promoting them all to co-GM; have them collectively decide on the method of organization they deem optimal (as it affects them the most)? Just a thought.

Thank you, but I know why I asked specifically for the search. As my question was answered It is a GM feature. This thread can be closed.
