Players can see tokens I don't want them to see

Hi all, First time running a dungeon today and as I was revealing sections on the map for them to walk through, they could see tokens that I didn't want them to see. I'm running through the Tales From the Yawning Portal, Sunless Citadel, and they said that they could see the tokens on the map that were set to not to show to players. Is there something else I need to do other than make sure that the tokens are unticked in Player Permissions? This is what all the tokens on the map look like in the advanced options.
The permissions options you pictured above are for token information, such as the name and auras and such. For example, if you were to check Bar 1 "See", the players would see the green (default color) bar, often used for hit points. If you want the players to know the health of the token's character, for example, you might check that so they can see the bar as the value fluctuates. However, you seem to be asking about the entire token itself, and how to make that invisible to the players. For that, you want to right-click on the token and move it to the DM Layer. Here, it's still on the map, but can only be accessed by the DM when the DM is on the DM Layer. You can then return it to the map (or token) layer, as needed, when it becomes visible to the player characters. Hope that helps! -Phnord

Thanks for the clear explanation of it! :D
