The [Custom Sheet Sandbox](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.roll20.net%2Fsheetsandbox&t=ZTkwYzFmMTRlMmI5ZDcyZmFhMzQyNGU0OTE4MTAxOGYyOGIwNTJmNyw3aVlGU0hkRw%3D%3D&b=t%3AAWOiB2yTKRq7_ROi5nEu2g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.roll20.net%2Fpost%2F190896818595%2Fnew-pro-feature-custom-sheet-sandbox&m=1&ts=1610475046) gives you a new, streamlined game type where you can upload character sheet files directly from your computer and update the sheets in real time on the VTT. Over 3,000 users currently run games with their own custom character sheet. Meanwhile, across Roll20, 37.1% of games use character sheets developed by our amazing Sheet Author community. These folks have dedicated a tremendous amount of time and effort to make a wide variety of games accessible to everyone on Roll20. Until now, any change they made required them to change the code, copy it into the game settings, save, and then reload the entire virtual tabletop. It was an arduous process. The Custom Sheet Sandbox changes all of this. This special game type is streamlined for fast loading, and allows Sheet Creators to make and preview their changes directly in the VTT. Our internal team has been developing sheets with this tool and found that it increased their efficiency by up to 30% (and reduced their frustration immeasurably). We also added a place to edit and test the sheet’s .JSON file (describing what the sheet is and giving users a way to tweak the settings) inside the sandbox. ![](https://bloghub.roll20.net/hubfs/0b958b00d3ded94f1e034123e6766dbcac95ba03-png.jpeg) We wanted to do more than just make it easier to create and update Community sheets, though: we wanted to make things fancy. Many Sheet Authors told us on the [Suggestions Forum](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.roll20.net%2Fforum%2Fpost%2F2593284%2Fcharacter-sheets-make-google-webfonts-available-for-use%2F%3Fpageforid%3D2593284%23post-2593284&t=ODZjOGZmMjNjMDNiMThhNDk3MTdkOWI1NGUzODgwM2M0ZDNjN2Y4Yyw3aVlGU0hkRw%3D%3D&b=t%3AAWOiB2yTKRq7_ROi5nEu2g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.roll20.net%2Fpost%2F190896818595%2Fnew-pro-feature-custom-sheet-sandbox&m=1&ts=1610475046) they wanted more fonts, so we added Google Fonts which can now be used in the sheet as well as programmed into Handouts, API scripts, and Chat outputs such as dice rolls.
