March 11, 2026

March 05, 2026

Roll20 Tabletop Updates:  API-related updates:

  • (Experimental and Default APIs) Pins now support a full set of customization properties: bgColor, shape, icon, pinImage, customizationType, useTextIcon, iconText, and tooltipImageSize. Each has validation (allowed values or value ranges) and preprocessing in the pin class.

  • (Experimental API) Proper Handling of NaN now prevents a crash if a NaN value ends up in a object property such as bar1_value.

  • (Experimental and Default APIs) tooltipTitleVisibleTo  Property exposed to the API

March 04, 2026

Roll20 Tabletop Updates:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented out-of-game Default Settings from correctly persisting "line block movement" settings in non-Legacy VTT
  • Fixed a day-old bug that updated Game Name on copied games with a generic default name; copied games now carry the original game name and append "copy" at the end

March 03, 2026

Roll20 Tabletop Updates:

  • Added a new optionality to Dynamic Lighting "lines block movement" setting in non-Legacy games, that enables it to be "on if Dynamic Lighting is enabled" - in addition to "always on" or "always off" which previously existed. The default setting has been set across the board such that Dynamic Lighting Lines and barriers now block token movement by default in games where Dynamic Lighting is active. This means that subscribers no longer have to manually turn on this setting in their marketplace content, and home-brew games require less setup! This setting can be turned to "always on" or "always off" in Dynamic Lighting Tools settings per page. Updating this in out-of-game Default Settings is coming soon.
  • Updated Game Creation flow in non-Legacy games to populate a default game name, making it faster to get into the game/Tabletop. You can update or change the game name at any time
  • Fixed a bug causing rotating and resizing object issues like resizing a rectangle drawing and image forces the item into a square ration or doors/windows changing into square shapes. 

February 27, 2026

Roll20 Tabletop Updates: 

  • Team release a hotfix to address a bug where custom GM notes on Map Pins seemingly "disappeared" for a period of ~20 hours. Custom GM notes are now reinstated to the original version prior to "disappearing."

February 26, 2026

Roll20 Tabletop Updates: Map Pins is out of Beta with latest updates and enhancements. Click here for full feature documentation:

  • Multi-select pins, regardless of the layer, by holding down Shift + drag to help organize and manipulate your game faster
  • Map Pins can now also be placed above or below darkness (right-click context menu)
  • Added bulk-edit capabilities to pins: copy, delete, toggle hidden/visible (via mini-menu), or place above/below darkness (right click context menu).
  • Introduced new campaign settings (VTT Settings > Graphics > Graphics Display) to help readability when zoomed out and reduce clutter when zoomed in:
    • New "maintain size (while zooming)" checkbox helps with readability
    • Nameplates can also be set to auto-hide while zoom out (alongside existing show-on-hover and always-show settings)
  • Increased character limit from 300 to 750 characters on custom text / tooltip for Player and GM notes
  • Pin tooltips can display embedded images from linked handouts
  • Pin tooltips can display rich text formatting (italics, superscript/subscript, alignment, indents) from linked handouts
  • Default pin styling: new pins automatically use the same settings as your last customized pin (reset to original on page refresh/new session)
  • 'Use blockquote as player flavor text' toggle in Map Pin's Edit modal has been extended to Pins created from full Handouts (not just pins created from within Handout headers)
  • Resolved the following bugs:
    • "Copy a header link" on Handouts previously didn't scroll to the associated header within the Handout
    • Animated images inside a pin tooltip failed to update when switching pins
    • Icons incorrectly appear as black boxes when copying and pasting a Heading from a Handout
  • Removed UI elements like the mention of "beta" and "feedback" throughout the experience

Roll20 Tabletop Updates: Other Updates

  • Expanded multi-select capabilities. Use refined modifier keys (also detailed in VTT Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts) allow users to select and organize any combination of objects on the map.

    Select multiple objects by dragging your cursor to create a selection box around a group. Alternatively, hold down modifier keys while clicking objects (or dragging to select) to refine your selection:

    • Ctrl/Cmd: Select only tokens, cards, or images/animations on the current layer.
    • Alt/Option: Select only text and drawings on the current layer.
    • Shift: Select only Map Pins, Doors, or Windows - regardless of layer.
    • Ctrl/Cmd, Shift + A (shortcut): Select all objects on the current layer, plus any Map Pins, Doors, or Windows.
    • Ctrl/Cmd + A: Select all objects on the current layer, excluding any Map Pins, Doors, or Windows.
  • Enhanced bulk-edit capabilities and added more object types: rotate, resize, copy or delete multiple selected objects simultaneously. When rotating/resizing a selection, items that aren't rotatable/resizable (Map Pins, Doors, and Windows) maintain their orientation and size, but move with the group 
  • Updated Layer Icons in the Left Toolbar with cleaner, more intuitive, and consistent visuals
  • Reorganized settings within VTT Settings > Graphics accordion to more logically group and clarify setting options. You'll now find settings separated into Display and Performance Settings
  • Resolved an edge-case scenario that caused the X on the death marker to appear behind the token.
  • Fixed a bug that incorrectly displayed "Enable Performance Enhancements" toggle in VTT Settings > Graphics as toggled on, when the setting was actually off in the backend; the toggle was updated to reflect the actual state of the backend, which means the toggle will now correctly appear "off" for users who didn't actively enable it
  • Fixed a bug that incorrectly displayed a line between tiled graphics when Enable Performance Enhancements was toggled on in VTT Settings
