Hi, To preface: I don't know if this affects other users today, and I don't presume to tell the
hardworkers behind this fine website what to do. It could be something that only I find to be a problem, but in case it weren't, I post this in an effort to hopefully make Roll20 a little better for everyone. I also apologize in advance if this were not the right subforum to post this; this is my first post. I've been using Roll20 as a premium user for quite a while, and every time I look up this particular matter, I come up empty handed. There are several guides on Roll20 teaching GMs how to show handouts to players by adding them to their journals. However, there are none for removing a shown handout from their journals. Such a mechanic, as far as I know, does not exist. The most recent post I could find on this is two years old , in which everyone concluded that such a feature was not on Roll20 at the time of posting. As of then, I could not find any more recent fixes to or posts about this matter. Examples as to when this could pose an issue: A letter (the handout) is stolen/destroyed in-game by an NPC or one of the players. The characters should not be able to read it anymore. Accidentally sharing a handout with players through Right click > Show to Players. This spoiled a surprise for my party once; one that I worked on for weeks. A handout reveal meant to only last a short time (e.g. passing by a oil painting, or a mental flash that comes and goes shortly after). In all of the above cases, I could ask my players to delete the handout from their journals and close the window, but that doesn't mean they would, nor is it a solution to the problem. I could simply describe what is in the handout rather than show it, but the same could be argued about the handout feature to begin with, and it is also not a solution. Being able to remove a handout that I shared from their journals and close the window on their end would be a solution. Suggested fixes: An "Undo Show to Players" button. A "Hide from Players" button. On the handout window, a "Specify Duration" slider/textbox in which the GM
could decide, were the handout shown through the existing feature,
how long it would remain in players' view before its window is
closed on their end, and the entry is removed from their journals. Thank you for your time, and I wish you a pleasant day. Kind regards, Q. Edit: Formatting. Edit 2: I did try going to Left Click Handout > Edit in order to go to the In Players' Journals textbox and delete everyone from it. This did remove the handout from their journals, but any player who still had it open could still see it for as long as they kept it open.
