Hello. Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes anyway. I was wondering if you guys were working on improving the character sheets at all to be more helpful for new players? As of right now under features and traits it just lists the titles and does not give a description of any kind. I know the point is to use the online resources, but some of the fun is having a character sheet to mark up and use. I know it seems redundant, but I think it would be awesome to have that on there.
My bad - replying to numerous similar questions in a small timespan.
The current export function is a placeholder - something that was coded quickly, so that it was possible to export a character at all. The fully featured export functionality is being developed.
Oh, this looks great anyway! Thank you for answering. Sorry if it was a repeat question. I am new to the site and will admit I did not comb through the previous posts.
Any chance of a release date for this online version? It really does look much better and easier to use for new players.
Has there been any updates about his topic? I recently subscribed and am very disappointed in the exported character sheet.
Many of the entries (Traits, Backstory, Equipment, etc) do not fit in the fields and are just cut off
Features & Traits are just listed with no explanation or information
Spells gained from Features & Traits are left off the Spell Page
I could probably fix this post-export by buying Adobe Acrobat Pro for $180, but I think I would want to avoid that after purchasing an annual subscription to D&D Beyond.
The original PDF export was a late entry/quick throw together when the character creator launched, as it was so heavily demanded. When the new character sheet revamp is released, a new export will also be released that is intended to better populate and display information. There is no specific launch date for this, because they won't be releasing it until it is to the high standard they want to set for it (to avoid the PDF export problem we currently have...), but hopefully we'll see it sometime in spring.

Just posting to confirm - the intention is to deliver the updated character sheets and PDF export before the end of this month.
I don't want to spoil the surprise of just how awesome the new PDF export really is, but suffice to say that it's dealt with all of the issues raised and added a whole load of awesome that you almost certainly didn't think was possible. :)

The Hype Train is leaving the station. ALL ABOARD!

I will caution though that there ISN'T a fixed deploy date - if there are issues or improvements that take extra time, then those take priority over deploying the character sheet.
In short - if the team has to disappoint you with a delay, to ensure this thing is awesome, then that's what they'll do.
That said, I believe we're still on track to see this before the end of the month.
With that warning delivered, please resume your train journey! :)

Yes, there is a major overhaul of the character sheet, that is well underway.
The early prototype/mock-up looks like this:

When I export my character on my iPad, the data does not fill in
When do we expect to see this revamp?
