- Pressing Shift+Z shows all players the larger version of that object. Note that only players and GMs that are on the same page as the selected token will see the model pop-up.
- While holding down Shift, hold down your Left Mouse Button upon a point on the tabletop. This will center everyone's field of vision about that point. This is known as "shift-pinging". This cannot be done Dynamic Lighting or GM layers, only in Map and Object layers.
- Pressing Ctrl+T makes you "Rejoin as Player"
- If you then drag a handout from the N Journal to the players name at the bottom of the screen, it will pop up that handout for just that player (and also give them view permissions on it).
- If you drag a player to a map, the player will move to that map (this is the way to Split the Party)
