My teammate in my party shared a bunch of books to me. I can access the book and creature's perfectly fine. But when I go to character creation to use a new race like the goblin race for example from monsters of the multiverse, it won't let me access it. I don't know if this is a bug or something else entirely but it won't allow me access to any new races or classes. Any help will be appreciated
No I was only trying to create a regular character. How would I make a character in a campaign? Or is that something that can only happen in the beginning?

You should have an invite link from your friend. If you use that link, you will be offered the choice of choosing an existing character, making a new character, or choosing an unassigned character that is already in the campaign. Whichever option you choose, that character will be in the campaign.
I'm having this same problem. I'm a Master subscriber. I have access to all the books and I shared content with a friend who wants to try DM-ing, but when I go into the campaign link I can see content sharing is enabled, but I still don't get Goblin as a player race. Why????
Having access and owning are two different things. If you are in Campaign A with Arnold and he's sharing the PHB with you, you can't turn on sharing in Campaign B and share Arnold's books with Campaign B. You can only share things purchased by people who have characters in that campaign (or is the DM).

Are you trying to create the character in the campaign with your friend?
You can only access the shared content in Character Creation, if you create the character in the Campaign for which Shared Content is turned on.
