--- title: "New: Better scene prep and table control" description: "Structured map imports, player-viewable scenes, portrait controls and character search make preparation easier." canonical: "https://www.questportal.com/changelogs/better-scene-prep-and-table-control" published: "2026-08-25T12:00:00.000Z" source: "Quest Portal changelog" --- # New: Better scene prep and table control _August 2026 retrospective — web app_ August's updates bring more of your preparation into the session and make the table easier to manage. - **Import structured maps**: bring supported map and wall data from .uvtt, .dd2vtt and .df2vtt files into the normal scene-creation flow. Review the import warnings: not every feature from every exporter is supported. - **Revisit shared scenes:** players can open scenes that the GM has marked viewable through the open-scenes deck. Hidden GM scenes remain hidden. - **Update portraits as the GM:** change player-character profile photos without transferring character ownership. - **Find characters faster:** search by name, tagline or campaign, with matching that ignores case and accents. - **Keep play moving:** music playback received reliability fixes. If the 3D dice renderer cannot start, standard dice remain available with an option to retry the renderer. These improvements retain the usual scene, character and campaign permissions. --- From the [Quest Portal changelog](https://www.questportal.com/changelogs). HTML version: .
