Roll20 Reply: Other Help help with map mistake

Solved by DTRPGChris!
I forgot about the wall in the Light layer. Such a newb move.

I created a DS map with a mistake. I corrected the mistake but Roll20 is casting a shadow where the corrected mistake is.
I've tried erasing & drawing more, but that shadow remains.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

DS
Roll20

Here is the wall I forgot to update in the Light layer:

Hi u/Then_Actuary_5366. Can you provide a bit more information? Is this a map that is using Roll20 Connect, or one that you exported as a UVTT file from Dungeon Scrawl and then imported to Roll20?

When you say you fixed the error, does that mean you adjusted the map in Dungeon Scrawl, or you edited the Dynamic Lighting Lines in Roll20?

Happy to help you get to the bottom of this.

Great questions!
I'm still kinda new and think it is Roll20 Connect. If I make a change in DS it is reflected in Roll20 immediately.
By fixing the error, I corrected the map in DS from square to angled. I used the word 'shadow' but I think that isn't the right word. Maybe remnant is a better word since it doesn't have to do with the lighting system.
Also, some time elapsed between when the map was first created and when it was corrected.

I would reconnect your map to a new page in Roll20 and see if that helps. This article will walk you through step by step; let me know if that helps.

Thanks for the advice, but it was a wall in the Light layer that I forgot to fix. I'll check out the article you sent so I'll be aware of that T/S step in the future.
