Macro Help? - Token action macros work for GM but appear as text in chat for players.

Hi all,  I'm a bit new to this macro thing, and experiencing a very frustrating, but also likely a very noob issue.  I have created a token action macro for entering initiative for a player-controlled token connected to their character, as well as another for entering damage from a player to a targeted enemy.  Both of these macros work great for me as a GM, but not for the player.  Here's how they're behaving: I click the token, buttons appear in the top left for the initiative and damage macros, I click one, and a box pops up to enter initiative or choose a target for damage.  However, when player does this on their end, all that happens is the name of the macro appears in the chat (i.e. "#Enter-Initiative") and they don't get a popup box to enter anything.  I'm inclined to think the text of the macro itself is working just fine since it works for me (and also works for me if I select "Re-join as player" in settings).  Why won't it work for my players?  Any ideas? What's absolutely killing me is that my fiance also GMs, and I'm a player in his campaign.  I've literally copied his exact macros and process.  They work great in his game - the issue is isolated to mine.  Is there something in my game settings causing this?

If the macros are in the collections tab, check to make sure that you have enabled 'all players' in the 'visible to' section. It's hidden in the default view for some inexplicable reason, so you'll need to scroll to see it:
You are a SAINT.   Problem solved - and thank you!
