    1) Im sort of working on making character sheets, but there doesnt seem to be a way to import from Mythweavers for instance.
    Suggest you use the standard char sheet that is provided for D&D 5e games.

    No, import from mythweavers won't work, nor can one export to mythweavers.

    I'm still not sure if I will be using Roll20, so I told them to use MW instead.
    roll20's sheets interact with the game engine. They are better in that respect.
    But it takes a little getting used to in order to get the weapon attacks to work correctly.
    Drag and drop from the Compendium to the char sheet: that's the best way.

    I can get away with just making a sheet to tie to the markers but it would be better if I could just onload the data
    You can associate a token with a char sheet.
    2) I have made a couple of sheets and moved markers onto the maps and they are HUGE.. One marker will fill a normal sized room. There doesnt appear to be anything to change the size of the map or the marker
    To change the size of the token, do this:
    1. Left click on the token, and then pick a corner of the token to drag.
    2. Push down and hold the Alt key
    3. Drag, pull, or push that corner and it will get bigger or smaller.
    4. Let go of left click.
    5. Let Go of Alt.

    The size will remain the same as you set it.


    3) I am trying to use one of the free maps off the Roll20 site but its way too small, and doesnt fill the whole screen. Plus you cant work with it, it doesnt take any notes at all and will not erase so I now have two or three of these maps that are both on the screen. Delete or Edit buttons do nothing.
    How I put notes on a map.
    1. Go to the GM layer.
    2. Hit Ctrl+G
    3. There's a text box, now type some notes into it.
    You can see it, the players cannot.

    PS:L There are also plenty of you tube videos on roll20 basics if you search for them.
