Hello,

What I want to be able to do, is have two identical maps apart from a few changes - let's say one is day and one is night, for the sake of it - and be able to immediately swap between those layers with all of the LoS, tokens etc staying present on the grid.

Is this possible? If so, could someone point me in the right direction to some tutorials?

You will have to play with layers in your map and have two layers - one per day and one per night. Then use visibility to turn on/off the respective layer.
Same might work with the walls - have separate layer for that and see how it works.
For the lights - never tested separate layers with lighting. For sure the global settings are... global.

LOS and I think Lighting will work as you can add those to the image layers or at least add them to folders and control display at the folder level. But tokens, no. Tokens are added to the image separate from the image controls and can not be controlled by the image panel controls.
