The "custom character sheets" has absolutely nothing to do with VTT integration. We've had plenty of users say they want to create custom character sheets for their personal use - along the lines of what AncientOne created for PF1 in HLClassic. The mechanism will support that capability by letting users export the character data, which can then be consumed by an external custom character sheet tool.

For VTT integration, we'll be spitting out all the data we have for a character that a VTT might want to use in that same canonical format. Then the import side of the process will select the subset of data the VTT actually consumes and put it into the format the VTT expects, at which point it can be loaded into the VTT. This process will be something that can be externally triggered, so a VTT could initiate the request, or an intermediate translation tool could trigger it, or whatever. For a truly manual process, the user could export the character data from HLO and then import it into the VTT, but that process will quickly become tedious for users, hence the ability to externally trigger it from our end.

Hope that makes more sense!
