Advice for sharing the campaign's homebrew source material via the Roll20 tabletop?

Working on a setting source book for use with Basic Fantasy RPG, and was going to include links to it along with all the BFrpg material in the game description. But was wondering if anyone had good advice for how, and when, to reproduce things via the game journal (external), to make it easier for everyone to stay focused on the VTT rather than browser tab flip flopping PDFs constantly to look up a table, map, or some bit of background fluff related to their characters or the setting? Was hoping to find good ways to have everything there on the VTT to allow players to roll their characters, find things in and read the setting material as needed, etc, etc.

Hi aRealDead1 !&nbsp; Handouts (under Journals) is a feature made for this. You can make as many Handouts as you want; fill them with 1 picture and unlimited text each (some text formatting is available). Assign each Handout for Visibility to "All Players". Learn the method for linking to [A Handout] and then you can make 1 Handout which is an Index or Table Of Contents for all the other Handouts. This way you can make an outline such as Chapter 1: Setting, Chapter 2: House Rules, Chapter 3: Spells.
