Map Pins Quick Tip, video by keith

A question that often comes up (and there is a suggestion for it), is "How can I make a token that I can place on a map that is linked to a handout?" Although such functionality is not yet possible, you can get very close, requiring only one extra step in execution, and a bit of up-front work.

You can use the Token Lock-feature to lock down movement of individual Map Pins, which would enable giving players full permissions to the map pins, without them (or the GM) accidentally moving them.
