I am trying to test dynamic lighting on roll20 but my players don't see any maps. Do they have to click the page toolbar and select the map to see it? I thought I could just reveal the map to them that I had selected? I dont really want to them to see the entire list of maps on the page toolbar... Kinda spoilery.

Are they not seeing any maps at all? Make sure you've put the player bookmark on the relevant map  page . Are they only seeing a black screen? Make sure that your players have control of some  tokens that have  vision/light emitting enabled.

It is ok matt. The community is here to help you. Wiki pages Page toolbar -  has information about moving the player's ribbon. Dynamic Lighting  is an advanced map lighting tool

He's saying that you need to make sure the player ribbon in the page tool bar is on the right page And make sure that the tokens the players can control have "Has Sight" checked and also emit light. When you have a token selected, you can press control-L  (or command-L on a Mac) to see what they can see.

Also say the map (i'm using curse of strahd module) shows an S for secret door... Are players supposed to see that S?

The all players see light is how you do a torch (on) vs darkvision (off).  The S is on the GM layer, only the GM can see it.

I gotcha... Thats cool. So if they have a spell or torches I turn all players see light. Anyways back to the real question.. I did everything and my player still can't see anything. The map is just black still. Ribbon is on map, token is emitting light. I did control L and tested it and it should work.

Is the token controlled by the player in question? Or does it have Represents set to a character they control?  If you ping the map, can they see the ping?

I set it so the player can edit and have control over it. And they see nothing.
