3 Death Saves

Usage

Default Detach is system-agnostic. You open one dialog and check what you want detached.

Open the Game Settings sidebar, click Configure Settings, and find the Default Detach section in the module list. Click the Configure button next to Configure Auto-Detach to open the Default Detach Configuration dialog.

The dialog has two tabs.

The Document Types tab lists document types and their subtypes, ready to check before you open anything. Checking a type detaches every window of that type when it opens.

The Individual Windows tab lists the windows you have opened this session. Check one to detach that specific window the next time it opens.

Foundry does not expose a master list of open windows. The Individual Windows tab learns about a window the first time it renders during your session.

Before you open anything, the Individual Windows tab shows a message:

No applications discovered yet. Open some sheets and windows, then reopen this dialog.

To fill it, close the dialog, open each window you want to manage, then reopen the dialog. Saved entries from a previous session stay in the list before you reopen it.

Check the types and windows you want detached, then click Save Configuration. From then on, a matching window opens detached each time you open it. Uncheck anything you no longer want detached and save again.

Each user has their own auto-detach list. The setting is client-scoped: a checkbox on your account does not affect any other player at the table. Your list persists across sessions.
