The Collections Tab

The Collections Tab (l icon) is the second to last tab on the right of The Sidebar. This tab stores Macros, Card Decks, and Rollable Tables; which can come in handy for automating parts of your game or simulating particular component you'd find in a board game.

Macros

Macro section

Main Article: Macros

Macros are user-defined shortcuts to commands you regularly want to repeat. For example, you can create a macro that shouts a battlecry then performs an attack that you frequently use. Instead of needing to type all of the commands over and over again as you play, you can just type one short command instead.

On the Collections-tab you can save your macros, and have the option to turn on the Macro Quick Bar where you can more quickly access them during play. You can also Drag-n-Drop Roll buttons from some Character Sheets to it.

Card Decks

Decks section

Main Article: Card Decks

Card Decks in Roll20 are collections (e.g., a deck) of one or more card objects that can be shuffled, drawn, dealt to players, traded between players, and can be played directly to the Tabletop.

Every Game created gets a deck of standard 54 playing cards (includes Joker cards) by default in the Collections tab, but you can create your own as well.

Hiding/Showing Decks

By default, a deck is hidden. If you want to interact with a deck, click the Show button to the right of the deck name. The deck will appear along the right-hand side of the Tabletop area. You can reveal as many Card Decks as you need. If you reveal more decks than there is vertical space to fit them all on the Tabletop, a scrollbar will appear to allow you to access all your decks.

Depending on a Card Deck's Settings, a revealed deck may be visible to everyone in the game or only to the GM.

To hide a deck again, click on the Hide button that appears to the right of the Card Deck name OR click on the Hide option in the Deck Menu.

Rollable Tables

Rollable Tables section

Main Page: Rollable Tables

A rollable table is a collection of items from which a single item will be randomly chosen. It can be used to create custom dice, critical success/failure tables, loot tables, or any other list of items that need to be "rolled."

A Multi-sided Token is a Rollable Table Token you can create, if at least one of your Items has an icon assigned to it, you can create a Rollable Table Token based on the Rollable Table.
