Macros from "Collection" tab dissapeared, but macros quickbar remains intact and working

Hi! This is my first time posting, so hooray, I found only old topic to the problem I have (<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5180756/cannot-edit-slash-delete-macros" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5180756/cannot-edit-slash-delete-macros</a>), so I started a new one. Im a (free) player in a (free) DM campaign. I had set up a bunch of macros to help me and assigned them to the quickbar. Last time we played (30th of March) everything worked fine. But yesterday I noticed that the macro "formulas" shown in the Colletion tab are missing, as if I have no macros at all. But my macro quickbar is still there, and all of the macros work. How do I get them back? So that I could edit the formulaes and text etc. Thanks in advance!

Hmm.&nbsp; Can you provide some screenshots, I'm having trouble visualizing the problem.&nbsp; Note: Macros are only editable by the person who created them, regardless of permissions.&nbsp; If you created them under a different account, you won't be able to see the contents or edit them, though they will still show up in the Macro Bar or in the Collections tab. Note 2: You can shift-double-click a Macro in the Macro Bar to edit it. Note 3: if you put Character Abilities in the Macro bar, they will not show up in the Collections tab, but will be on the character they came from.

Hi The Aaron Thank you for your quick reply! Also this is the moment where I have to fade away into oblivion in embarrassment. For I have been a dumba** the whole time. My macros were indeed crated in the character sheet (attributes / abilities) tab, not in the general Collectiontab. Your "Note 2" shift-double-click took me right there. Before my embarrassing thread can be archived or better yet deleted forever, can you explain what is the difference in doing the macros in the collection tab vs character attributes / abilities. Again thanks, and sorry for littering.

No problem, "sometimes your experiences exist as a warning to others", so it's useful to have a thread like this.&nbsp; (Also, this is something we've all run into, so no need to for embarrassment!&nbsp; They are largely the same in concept, but different in some important ways. Macros are associated with Players, Abilities are associated with Characters. Macros can only be edited by the Player that created them, Abilities can be edited by the Players that control the Character. Macros can be executed by Player who is expressly granted permission for that Macro, Abilities can be executed by any Player that controls the Character they are on. Macros have the same resolution context as the chat (@{bob|hp}), Abilities have the resolution context of the Character (@{hp} will be the current Character's hp) Macros expand HTML entities when edited, Abilities do not. (Important if you're doing some meta command shenanigans) Macros are forever locked to the Game where they are created, Abilities can be transferred to other games by transferring the Character Those last two are a bit esoteric, but important.&nbsp; For some really detailed uses, check out:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-roll20-tricks-and-some-clever-ones/?pageforid=5899495#post-5899495" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-roll20-tricks-and-some-clever-ones/?pageforid=5899495#post-5899495</a>
