Issue tracker
Please report any issues on the issue tracker.
If you're experiencing extreme lag please disable LastPass as it is known to cause problems with Roll20. This has nothing to do with the Shaped sheet.

Sheet Releases
When I release a new version it takes time to reach the public. Roll20 must merge my cost (typically Mondays/Tuesdays) and then release my code to the public (typically Tuesdays/Wednesdays). You can track Roll20's pull requests on their github. I have no control over when they release.
How to Update the sheet yourself (as Pro):
- Copy the html from github
- In Roll20 go to campaign settings and choose a custom character sheet.
- Choose D&D 5e as the SRD
- In the HTML tab paste the HTML code
- Copy the css from github
- On Roll20 in the CSS tab paste the CSS code.
- Copy the translation from the appropriate file on github (en is English, fr is French, de is German, it is Italian, etc)
- On Roll20 in the Translation tab paste the JSON from the appropriate file.
- Hit save.
If you are ever concerned about data loss I recommend you duplicate your campaign and use that to copy to see how it'll work.
Testing new versions
I regularly release new versions. If you'd like to be involved in the testing period follow this thread. You can also see the latest code on my develop campaign
Supported Versions
I support the currently released version on Roll20 and on Github (they often differ as Pros can use a newer version). For upgrades I support a smooth upgrade for any version within the last 6 months.
