Summary

This extension is a major upgrade to my original player journal extension. It adds a journal tab to character sheets so players can create their own journal entries. It also allows them to save stories, notes, maps/images, and pretty much any kind of record shared with them to their own character sheet for easy reference later. It offers filtering and searching capability. It also allows DMs to auto-add records to player sheets so no more will you have to hear the dreaded "Can you reshare the map?" or "Can you reshare that story entry?"

My original journal was a quick hack of the character sheet and notes that offered useful and solid functionality but was really not well thought out and could not be easily extended with new features. This extension required a complete rewrite of the journal and has gone far and beyond what it was originally capable of. That is why I have chosen to create it as a new separate extension instead of adding to the old one. However, I will continue to support the old one to deal with any conflicts or changes that may be needed to keep it functional. 

If you previously had my Player Journal or Character Sheet Tweaks extension active, this will auto-import your old journal entries. 

Watch the video for full details on all the features but here are some of the main upgrades from Journal 1

Extension General Reminder

It is impossible to ensure all extensions work with each other, so I can't guarantee there will not be conflicts. Even with FGU updates, functional extensions can break. I can't guarantee this extension will always work, but I do my best to keep extensions updated ASAP.
