In game Avatar portrait from upload library

September 24 (10 years ago)
I'm trying to figure out a way to set a character's avatar portrait from a picture I uploaded previously without re-uploading the file. Does anyone know a way to do this?

Go to your Art Library tab, search for the image's token, drag it onto the avatar portrait box where it says 'drop a file'.

Don't feel silly on this one. It took me months to figure that one out too, and I also only figured it out once Gauss explained it.

At one point I added a Suggestion on the Suggestions forum for some better wording where it says 'drop a file' so that users can easily recognize that drag-and-drop from your existing assets can work there. Just saying, I think it's non-obvious. At least you thought to ask so now you know. I think that a fraction of users are probably just re-uploading every time because that's what it looks like you should do from the way it's presented in that box.
