Let players access more than 1 map ( so they can review info during and between sessions)

In my games I have a  ‘landing page’  filled with player notes/info NPC details and another for the area/world map. but between games and even during games the players can’t review these ‘map’ screens as they can only be on the page/map the the DM leaves them on. frequently players who want to review the game between sessions have to message me to ask can I move them from the current map to the ‘landing page’ or vice versa. would it be possible to give the players to have access to certain/limited maps so that they can review things for themselves between sessions, or during the game. Perhaps have a ‘show to players’ like permission tick box option on the map/page settings.

Hey Martin, you can use the API mapchange for that, I wrote a small tutorial on how to do it here <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8644717/allow-players-to-view-multiple-gm-selected-maps/?pageforid=9874406#post-9874406" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8644717/allow-players-to-view-multiple-gm-selected-maps/?pageforid=9874406#post-9874406</a> By default the API makes all maps players available, to hide some from them, just add [GM] in front of the name of the page (or remove it, if you want them to see them after you have visited it)
