Our team is ramping up for a big year of releases to the Role platform! For our first update of 2022 we are tidying up some UX at tables and fixing some bugs.
- Updated the design of the Asset Tray and Asset Library Modal. They now have a filter bar and sorting.
- Updated the list of rolling users at a table show the person's matching display name instead of only their username.
- Updated accessibility of the Quick-Start Bar.
- Fixed the asset tray sometimes disappearing or getting into a weird position.
- Fixed asset pop-up menus sometimes getting cropped and becoming unclickable.
- Fixed the sheets panel at a table not showing up when your first join.
- Fixed being able to close shared maps if the map comes from a quick-start game.
As we approach the end of December we have just deployed our final release of the year! We’ve spent the the last few weeks polishing off parts of our updated onboarding & dashboard experience, squashing bugs, and as of today showcasing our latest feature: Quick-Start Adventures.
- Added Quick-Start Adventures to your Dashboard. These are pre-generated tables with everything you need to start playing a game with minimum to no prep.
- Added filtering to your Assets on your Dashboard. This will eventually be added to your Asset Tray at a table.
- Added support for Link assets (currently only available in Quick-Start Adventures).
- Updated the modal that pops up when first creating a table to not have repeated fields you just entered.
- Updated the design for adding/selecting sheets when you first create a table.
- Updated some styling throughout the app to make some areas more consistent.

In our biggest update yet, we have completely overhauled our Sheets and Templates! After months of feedback from our community of early game masters, players, and creators, we put together a list of updates to make sheets and templates more flexible and powerful. Check out our blog post highlighting everything that has been updated, but to start here is a quickfire list of changes:
Sheets
- Updating our dark theme to bring in a little color to our previously all grey UI.
- Redesigned Sheets to improve readability of text and better distinguish the various elements displayed.
- We've redesigned the Table of Contents to make it easier to navigate long sheets.
- Sections within a sheet can now be reordered and collapsed.
Templates
- Updated the creator to streamline how you add labels, descriptions, and access to common functions that were previously hidden in advanced options.
- Drag & Drop! You can now drag and drop elements and groups to organize your template.
- New Elements: Groups (formerly Blocks), Dropdowns, Clocks, Text, and Images.
- Markdown enabled in Note elements.
- No more blocks or limiting what can and cannot be 1 or 2 columns. You can now mix and match element sizes within the same Section or Group.
