Through the Ability Score Improvement, one has the option of selecting a feat instead, however when I choose to select a feat, only 3 of the feats appear as options. The feat I would like to choose, Alert, isn't one of them. Does anyone know why?
Do you have to purchase the feats? or the PHB in order to add them to your character?? I already own a hardcopy of the PHB, so not going to buy a digital copy. I solved the problem by recreating the feat as a custom/homebrew feat.
The three feats you saw are the only ones available for free. For all the rest, you have, as you discovered, the options to purchase the "book" they appear in here, purchase the individual feat (or other character option), purchase a bundle of options (all feats from PHB, for example), or, as you have done, homebrew them. There is no way to get credit here for owning the physical PHB. If you want more information on why that is, see this thread: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/6230-d-d-beyond-vs-physical-books-an-explanation
As long as you bought the “full” book and not the “compendium only” option, the most likely cause is that the feat has already been added to the sheet. If you post al ink to your sheet, we can take a look and try and figure out if that is the case.

I have every digital source book on D&D beyond and alert still doesn't display?
