Hello everyone,
I don't know if it is the right section, but I've a couple of question that I'd really appreciate to be solved.

- As GM, basically I can share everything I want with my players (who as only a demo version of FG; I purchased the Ultimate Licence plus several DLC), but sometimes I've experienced some issue in: showing only the part of the map that "they" can see and hiding the rest that isn't discovered yet. How can I do that?

- As players (as said they don't have the licence, I invite them using my Ultimate one), can they show some image which is not included in the packs we already have in FG? E.i. One of them want to share a .png image about pg, equipment, etc. How can they do that?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Giuly:)

Welcome to the forums!

1) See "Masking" in the Images section of the User Guide here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Images#Masking

2) Players cannot share images from outside of Fantasy Grounds. The best you can do is post a link to an external web page in chat, which everyone can then click on if they want to see it.

Thanks a lot.
About Masking, I've already read about it. Basically, I wonder if as they walk they can discover new "hidden" section of the map or I need to highlight them from time to time. How can I do that?
Thanks again for your help. :D

It's a completely manual process. The GM has to manually unmask the areas you want the players to see.
