I keep all Owlbear export backups on a cloud drive for easy access and version control.

If I have multiple campaigns, I just clear my cache and delete any current Owlbear files, and import the backup of the second campaign to switch over to that Owlbear collection of tokens and maps. Use Import/Export to Manage Multiple Campaigns - I like to Export my Owlbear files often, usually at the end of a game.

A player takes personal notes on initiative scores, and then lists the initiative order in a Note (using Shift + Enter will allow you to add a new line in ‘notes’). Use Notes to Track Initiative - I like to outsource initiative tracking in my games. I particularly like to have the top names of people, places, and things listed, visible only to the GM. You can use this feature for all kinds of hidden images with diagrams, notes, or secret maps for the GM (sort of like a hidden GM screen). Don’t forget that using Shift + Enter will allow you to add a new line in ‘notes’. You could have a note with a monster’s key stats for example. Use the ‘hide’ feature to hide it from the players. Use Private GM Notes - Use the ‘notes’ feature to place GM-only notes on the battlemat. Here are some of my top tricks, hacks, or hidden features I use when using Owlbear Rodeo. Owlbear Rodeo has quickly become my top choice for an RPG virtual tabletop tool due to its ease of use, elegance, and appearance.
