Why doesn't my player's imported character show up in the GM's list?

Greetings,

Well, we did this once, but I guess I've already forgotten how to do it.

We went through the steps to export the character from Hero Lab. It produced the .hlfg file, then we used the conversion utility to output as a 'Local Import'. Then the player started up FG, and was able to import his character. The only problem is that I don't see it in our campaign... Were we supposed to check 'Campaign Import'?

4 hours to game time...

Never mind. Operator error.

I didn't realize that I could start two completely different copies of Fantasy Grounds on the same computer... my second copy was being correctly updated, while the first was oblivious.

That's crazy.

Thanks.

The best way to learn how this works is to just play around and learn from your mistakes. Once you get the hang of it, everything runs smoothly most of the time.
