Help with Maps and new Toolbar Please

Hi I've been away for a while and just got back into Roll 20. I tried to create a new game but it told me I didn't have enough space left and I had to upgrade to a 'Plus' subscription which I have done. I'm planning to run a scenario for the Alien RPG after having run one on Roll 20 about a year ago successfully. I've tried to create the maps but failed. I've opened a new page and made the grid then put the external battlemap on it.   This is where it all goes wrong. The controls seem to have changed and I can’t get through to the right click>advanced>grid alignment tool.   Instead, I'm trying both the map and GM layer buttons at the bottom of the page but when I right click I get a box offering me ping, focus, paste and undo.   I've looked online both on Roll20 and YouTube but all the walk throughs have a different older interface.   Can anyone help me, I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid as I'm definitely a novice and I'm hoping an older hand can steer me through :)   Kind regards

After placing the map image on the VTT and making sure that it (the image) is on the MAP layer , select the graphic, right click, then select "Advanced Transform", then "Align to Grid".
Hey Rick many thanks. That's exactly what I can't do as it's no longer given me that option (picture attached for clarification) kind regards

First select the image with a Left click. Then, once it is selected, you can Right click to call up the contextual menu. You may need to do this first in order to send it to the map layer, if it is not already on that layer.
Also, because the map image looks dimmed out in the picture that you posted, I think that it's on the GM Layer. The icons in the lower left of the screen are for selecting the layer that you want to work on, not to change the layer of the image. In order to move an image between layers, you need to first select the layer that it's on, then select&nbsp; (left-click) &nbsp; the image, then right-click on the image to pull up the menu that you're looking for. When were you last using Roll20? Nick Olivo has a fairly recent (3 month old) video that walks you through setting up an image to align to the grid: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN8HsmNFCAU&amp;t=268s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN8HsmNFCAU&amp;t=268s</a>
Hi all, huge thanks. I'm watching Nicks video which is excellent however I'm still not getting the align grid tool as an option, I'm sure I'm doing something stupid. Many thanks If I go to the map layer the image is grayed out and I cant get the boxes with the advanced options

Most likely the image is on the wrong layer. Please go through the layers to find the image and then move it to the Map layer.&nbsp;
To move the image to the map layer, select it (left-click), then right-click and select "Layer", then select "Map layer". After that, the correct right-click menu with the "Fit to Grid" option should come up.
