[edit] In Marketplace Products
Most maps and adventures released before the Dec 2022 release of the Door feature on the Marketplace have any doors on the maps draw with a different color from normal walls on the Dynamic Lighting layer. This makes them easier for the GM to spot, and was to old way of managing doors.
To let a player through a "door", GM can select the "door"-segment while on the Dynamic Lighting layer, and then move it to the GM layer.
