Hello, I am trying to run a campaign tomorrow for a close friend. I am attempting to put LOS in my campaign however it is not working - with module battlemaps or impoted image assets. All guides I have seen on this matter include the same instructions. I have followed these guides and came up empty handed. I want to make sure my player's tokens can dynamically reveal things in front of them as they progress through dungeons in 5e.

Upon unlocking an image asset or a battlemap to add these LOS options I am missing the following (see image example 1.PNG). The DM UI on the right is completely non-existent in my FGU games on all files I attempt to modify. Instead what I see is the following (See image example 2.PNG). How do I enable this feature?? I've spent hours browsing.

Welcome to FG
I was confused initially because the forums showed your images out of order. ;)

The first thing you have to do is unlock the image. You can do this on the top right. You're image doesn't look like mine, so the first thing to do is to start your campaign with NO extensions enabled. You should then see something like this: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996640166/Working+with+Images+as+the+GM#Image-Windows-and-Icons

Unlock there and then you should be able to see the image control like in your first image.

If that's working, then you can try re-enabling your extensions to see what one is breaking things. Because it looks like the lock/unlock in your example shows unlocked... but maybe try the three dots with the triangle? I'm not familiar with an extension that makes things look like your screen shot.

Like LE says I suspect either the theme you are using or some other extension is causing your issue.

An unlocked image without a token on it should look like the screenshot attached (I've highlighted the buttons that should be visible). There's a lot of extra buttons on your one and a lot that should be there that aren't. It may also be the theme you are using so try disabling that as well. If there is a token on the map then you should see buttons like in my second screenshot.

Welcome to the FG forums @Newey!

Your screenshot looks like you're running the no longer supported FG Classic (no updates since June 2021), which doesn't have the graphical functionality of FG Unity (including LoS). Can you please confirm if you're using FG Classis or FG Unity?

Hi! Thank you for all the help guys. I am using Fantasy Grounds Classic it looks like.

If you want to use LOS, layers, effects, lighting, etc., support all released products and get future updates, you'll need to upgrade to Fantasy Grounds Unity. Unfortunately, you've just missed the sale, but the FG license is a lot cheaper than the FG Classic license was.
