How do I Upload Pre-Made maps into Roll 20?

Hi, I purchased the Castle Ravenloft 5e maps for roll 20 as I thought this would be fun for my players to see it as they explore. I cant find ANYWHERE that tells me how I upload the map when I'm in the map editor. All i can find is the "curse of Strahd credits" with the option to share it with my players. Can someone give me a step by step on how to upload the maps into my campiagn and have players use them. I have free account. I've used roll 20 a while ago but am pretty much a newb. Thanks.

Did you add the Add-On to a game? Have you clicked the Page Toolbar across the top (the blue page icon)?

Hi Gabi. Good news. Even easier. Look under the Pages (the little blue icon at the top when logged-in as GM of a Game where you have added this Add-On product). <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Page_Toolbar" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Page_Toolbar</a> If you haven't added the Add-on product that you purchased, into your Game yet, here is the instructions for that initial step, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/How_to_Access_Marketplace_" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/How_to_Access_Marketplace_</a>.. This product, <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/20" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/20</a>... I'll see if we can get that Product description to include the instruction for "Pages" (what Roll20 calls this feature), as opposed to just "maps" since this is really quite a bit more than a flat map.
Ok great!! Gold your first solution was the one I needed to hear!! Now I'm waiting on players to join and have some questions- How do I set up a game? Do I just click "Launch Game" and the players with the link can just join? How do I decide where they begin, considering these maps have dynamic lighting?&nbsp; Thanks~
Or, for example, if the party climbs the stairs and goes to the next level, how do I determine where they begin on that map?

As DM, you control the starting location of a player by dragging their journal (token) to the map. You control which page they are on by dragging the player ribbon on the Pages palette to the proper page(map). If using Dynamic lighting, you will need to make sure their tokens have the proper settings for their race and possibly class. It should be noted that unless you are running this for Roll20Con, you do not have Dynamic Lighting available as a free user. You will need to do some prep work with basic Fog of War (Not hard to do, but it does take time). There is a documentation wiki that explains these features. I would strongly advise A) going through the Roll20 In-App Tutorial for GMs , which will give you a good overview of how the interface works, and B) pre-reading the handouts for the game so you know the overall shape of the adventure.
