Located on the Game Details page, under the Content dropdown menu, along with access to your Chat Archive and Game Forums.

This is great for checking up on things in-between gaming sessions without the hassle of loading up the whole tabletop. You can also keep the External Journal open in a separate tab or browser window, or even on another screen.

The External Journal updates in real-time. So if a change is made to a character’s bio, you don’t need to reload, you’ll see the change right away. This really enables you to use the External Journal as a play aid during your Roll20 games.


Trick:

  • If you have large handouts & need to search them for a certain word, you can open them in the External Journal and use ctrl+F to find it, where as you can't use ctrl+F inside Roll20.
    • Search API(Forum) -- provides full text searching across handouts and characters (including attributes). Search respects permissions on handouts and characters.
