Restoring Lost Light Obstruction

I accidentally cleared all of the drawings from the Eye of the All-Father map in my Storm King's Thunder Campaign while on the Dynamic Lighting layer. As a result, I lost all of the light obstructions in the map. I see that there's no way to undo this, but I'm having some trouble using the line drawing tool to replace them. I was hoping I could get a dev to manually roll back the game to 6:00 PM EST May 28th so that those light obstructions could be restored.&nbsp; Here's a link to my game: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2328647/storm-kings-thunder" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2328647/storm-kings-thunder</a> &nbsp; I've already sent an email to the dev team, but I thought maybe I should post here as well. P lease let me know if there is any other information you need. My next game is scheduled for Thursday night, and I'm hoping I won't have to push it back!

Rollbacks are an automated feature available to Pro users only.&nbsp; Increasing your subscription level would allow you to obtain rollbacks for the last seven days. Alternately, for free, start a second campaign based on the module and copy all from the pristine map to paste on the broken map.
Thanks for responding so fast! How would I go about the second option? Just go to the map layer, select copy, and then paste over the broken map in my original campaign?

If it is light obstructions, then what you want is everything from the dynamic lighting layer.&nbsp; Open both campaigns in different browser tabs.&nbsp; Very carefully control-A to select all and then copy.&nbsp; Go to the same map in the other campaign and paste.&nbsp; It should slot neatly into place.&nbsp; Others may have tips/tricks/rituals to offer, but I've given the basics.
Thank you! I will try that tommorow and let you know if I need any.more help.

In my experience, it doesn't paste in place. Maybe if you don't click anywhere on the map first? Clicking on the map sets the paste point. I haven't tried this. You may want to practice in a test campaign first.

I once made a copy of a large complicated underground map with dynamic lighting. My first few attempts were unsuccessful. Eventually what worked for me was using Ctrl+A to select everything on the DL layer and first grouping it together (which takes a while so don't freak out). Then copy the group and paste it into the original map. By pasting it as a group you can move the entire group around to realign it with the walls. Don't forget to ungroup the DL lines when you have them placed. On another note an upgrade to Pro would let you transmogrify the map directly from on copy of the game into another will all DL items intact.
I took your advice, John, and I was able to make it work. Thanks for your help, everybody!
