Token part of the tutorial is broken

Edited 1627315690
I have just started on the tutorial earlier today until I got stuck on the token part. It is impossible to edit a token in the tutorial! Works neither in Firefox nor Chrome for me. BUT it does work if I launch a game, so it is a tutorial specific bug. You should see to get this fixed cause it might throw off potential new users of the site when the tutorial isn't working. After continuing the tutorial I have encountered more issues as the map has frozen 3 times so far... (Twice in firefox and once in chrome) Two times pinging caused the freeze and once it froze when I measured the distance while dragging a token. Really not the best first impression guys. This tool seems like it has a lot to offer but bugs like these are literally gamebreaking... Edit 2: Yeah the rolling didn't work out either, in neither browser. The title of this thread is not accurate anymore. It is not the tokens - the entire tutorial seems pretty much broken.

HI  Kylekashi ! If you are looking to dive on in I would recommend  against  taking the tutorial. It  is very old and out of date, and at some point it  will  break. My suggestion is to check out the  Learning Roll20  Course on Youtube, or my own video,  Starting from Scratch .  Additionally, starting your own test game to play with different features and controls is a great way of getting used to the software and layout.

Yep, tutorial is broken in several places, and have been for long: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Tutorial" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Tutorial</a>
Good to know it's not just me. They should just remove the tutorial at this point in that case. Leaves a bad first impression and some people may - unlike me - not give it a second look and leave. Oh well, as long as it's only the tutorial, I guess I will just take a look into those alternative learning methods. Thank you!

Yeah I've repeatedly suggested to them to at least add a disclaimer that's it's partially non-functional and to do something else, but it seems to be really low on the priority list to address.

Having a broken tutorial is a really bad look. It's too bad, because Roll20 has some neat features if new users can get past that particular trap. Roll20: please remove the deprecated tutorial from the Games menu, until an updated version has been created. Edit: Hooray for the new tutorial!
A new tutorial was just posted yesterday! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10365617/new-tutorial-experience-is-live" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10365617/new-tutorial-experience-is-live</a>
