[Official] Try the New Align to Grid Beta

⚠️ Update: As of Thursday, August 20, the Align to Grid beta has been temporarily rolled back. We identified a bug that affects some games containing drawings (including Dynamic Lighting lines), so out of an abundance of caution, we have removed it to avoid impacting games over the weekend. It will be re-released (along with the new Map Layer hotbar and backdrop uploads) as soon as we can. If you played yesterday and notice any of your Dynamic Lighting not blocking correctly, or drawings that shifted position, rolling your game back to August 18th will resolve the problem. We've temporarily opened up the Rollback feature to everyone, so anyone affected can use it. Steps and FAQs can be found here .  Stuck? Contact Customer Service , and we'll help you sort it out! (include your game link for the quickest turnaround) We apologize to anyone who has suffered any inconvenience as a result of this rollout; we are as excited as you are to get Align to Grid back out soon, and we appreciate everyone who tried it so far.  Today is a GREAT DAY! Our new Align to Grid beta is live and free for every GM, no subscription needed. The new guided tool walks you through three easy steps to align your map and works on those previously impossible to align due to baked-in borders, offset grids, and uneven spacing. Plus, it supports every grid type on Roll20: square, vertical and horizontal hex, isometric, and dimetric. Along with the new tool, we’ve designed a convenient hotbar on the Map Layer of your pages that lets you quickly upload backgrounds, launch Align to Grid, and adjust and customize other page settings without digging through other menus.  To align a map:  Anchor: align the crosshair with a grid intersection on the map Scale: resize the 3x3 sample grid to match the size of the grid on your map Fine Tune: drag from any grid intersection or line to adjust your image to account for any drift or odd-sizing You can watch a full demo video on our blog , plus learn more about new backdrop upload functionality and how Scale to Grid (found in the right-click context menu) can help with aligning Map Tiles and tokens. Note: the old tool isn't gone (yet), so if you’re a glutton for punishment, you can still use the Legacy process anytime before it’s replaced when beta ends.  Let us know what you think, or any questions you have! 

RPGeezer - tell us more! During step 3, you can use the little crosshairs that pop up to draaaag your image to make it match the grid. 

Amazing to hear, thank you vInce! <3 

Howdy, y’all! Meredith from Community! For those with the lighting leak or your maps jumping to the corner, the devs are currently investigating this and I’ll update when this gets fixed! 

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your patience. We know this has affected a lot of people in their games tonight so we appreciate all the reports. Devs located the issue with a recent issue that unveiled another issue (big ol’ domino effect, unfortunately). Only users who had their pages open during this time are affected by this. You may find that in some cases your drawings (including Dynamic Lighting lines) would have moved to the top left corner of your map, affecting player sight. The next step is to institute a rollback, which is usually only available for Pro + Elite accounts. However, we are making the rollback feature available temporarily to allow this for all users affected, even free accounts. You can read the steps and FAQs here (we recommend reading the whole article!) If you’re struggling with the rollback or run into any challenges with it, then please contact us through our Help Center and our Customer Service will help you out! Note: As the developers dive into the line of sight issue, you may see align to grid disappear. Our dev team will pop back in here when we are set to go.
