Derek, just to clarify, is the issue that you made changes on the character sheet but when you drag the token that you've saved to that sheet to the desktop, you don't see the changes? If that is the case, Vince has good advice. The token is saved to the sheet in the state it was when you first saved it. If you hadn't associated the token with a specific character (using the "Represents Character" dropdown in the token's settings), then you will not see any changes even when you change the sheet.
