Allow Players to move themselves to different pages

Allowing players to move between different pages without the GM's action would be a useful tool in certain games. For example, I always include a Safety Pallette page in my games, and allowing one player to double check the Lines and Veils during play without disrupting other players would make the game safer and faster. Also, in my Powered by the Apocalypse: Thirsty Sword Lesbians game, there are pages in the module to track Strings. Allowing a player access to those pages would, again, improve gameplay.

Check out the MapChange MOD. This YouTube video by Nick Olivo is a great tutorial for it.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

If this change were to be made, there should be a opt-in system for pages players are allowed to access. Perhaps a checkbox on the page settings. I do not want players to be able to freely move to any page they see, as I often have many pages that are works in progress, may contain spoilers, and so on. Players should only be able to see pages they have permissions to see. Allowing players to move themselves between the active battlemap and the world map could be one use case I would have for this feature, but I do not know if it is worth the downside of players potentially distracting themselves on other pages and not seeing an event happening on the "active" page. Players might also get lost if they have continuing access to several prior pages. If they can access "battle-forbidden forest" and "battle-castle" and "world map" among others, and they change from the current active battlemap to the world map, they might get lost and not know which page they are supposed to come back to. That would increase the amount of work I need to do as a GM in order to get them back in the correct place. I would need to remember to disable player access to pages once we are done with them. Extra GM work is often a pain, as we are already juggling a lot of hammers.
