Using multiple character sheet types... How?

Hi everyone! After searching a bit for information, without any luck, I have a question I would like answered. You see I'm slowly building up a game, and I'm using 5e OGL sheet for my "Monster Manual" because I like the simplistic layout, but I would like to use the Shaped Sheet for my players when that time comes. Is it possible to use multiple character sheet types in a single game, and if so how?

At this time you are limited to one character sheet style for your campaign.  If that ever changes, I have no doubt it will be widely announced.

Have you looked into the NPC page for the Shaped sheet?
For the long term, you may want to toss a vote for this suggestion: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1239632/multiple-character-sheet-layouts" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1239632/multiple-character-sheet-layouts</a>

But thanks for quick reply. Silvyre said: Have you looked into the NPC page for the Shaped sheet? Yeah but I'm a complete macro-retard, and I am following the guide to making a Monster Manual from the YouTuber named Taking20. I have tried and failed multiple times to convert the macros he use for his Monster Template into the Shaped Sheet. I simply can't comprehend how to do it (and yes I've read tutorials, seen videos, etc.), so I will have to stick to copy/paste method to make it work for me.

I'm certain the folks in the Shaped sheet's thread are more than happy to help with macros, or converting macros. Also, it may be worth mentioning that the Monster Manual Add-On works for the Shaped sheet as well as the OGL sheet.

For the Shaped sheet there is an NPC view (you can turn it on by flipping the switch in the bottom right). Have you tried dragging monsters from the SRD? The process should be very simple and set everything up for you.

Yeah that part is easy enough, but what I'm after is Token Macros, so I don't have to have sheets open to use attacks, traits, initiative, etc. The guide I'm following makes an easy template to duplicate, so I only need to adjust a few things to have Token Macros set up for each individual monster, so when I click on a token it will have all the important macros available on the top of the screen. The guide however is for the 5e OGL sheet, and even though I prefer the Shaped Sheet, I can't get the macros to work as I simply can't comprehend how to do it.

We're talking quite a few macros, as it is for Multiatttack, Attack Actions, Traits, Reaction, Saves, Initiative, Perception/Passive Perception, Stealth, Stats, Spells and Legendary Actions.

Oh you will love the options available to you with the Shaped Sheet then, it has much more and better built-in macros than the OGL sheet. It's all in the documentation linked by Kryx.

Thanks but as I've stated, I'm an idiot when it comes to making macros, and I'm after copy/paste versions I can use. I've created another thread to ask for help converting the ones I need.
