Token actions

Can you make token action macros on the abilities tab using the roll20 5e character sheet? The videos I watched used the 5e community contributed character sheet.  I am having trouble using the roll20 sheet. Any place to look for help?

Yep you can create them on any sheet. This video explains it pretty well: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTGMa5LiMPY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTGMa5LiMPY</a>
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that if you click any active button on any character sheet, like initiative, an attack, a spell, a death save, an ability or a saving throw, you can then click in the empty chat entry field and then up arrow.&nbsp; A whole line of text will appear, which is the thing you just executed with a click.&nbsp; Cut and paste that to an empty attribute entry on the abilities / attributes tab, name it, save it and check the show as token action check box.&nbsp;

Absolute quickest way? Click the action on the sheet. go into chat entry box, press the up arrow key. Copy that code into a new action on the sheet and give it the name of the action. Click the check box to use as token action. Done. That action is now on a button that will appear at top whenever the token is selected. Note that there is a better way to do this, but this is the quickest and easiest.
Cool thanks everyone for the help!&nbsp;
ok, sorry guys. i got the macros to work but when a put a token out on the board and click on it no buttons show up.&nbsp; What am i doing wrong now?
Never mind need to set the monster the token represents.&nbsp;

Remember to set the default token as the very last step. It's the equivalent of saving your work.
