I see that Sidekicks have been added to the Extras section of the character sheets. This is great as my daughter’s character has a creature companion that would be perfect to use the Sidekick rules for.
I’ve added the companion (a Direwolf) as a Sidekick, but can’t see a way to level it up. I’d want it to be the same level as the character, but ideally it should have the option to be levelled independently.
D&D Beyond does not gives ETAs. It has been mentioned quite a few times though that it's planned for future development. I imagine it will be trumpeted everywhere when they are ready to announce something regarding sidekicks!
Well, it's 2024 and I haven't found a way to change the level of the sidekick. I created a sidekick but he stayed at level 1 even when I leveled up the character as a test.
Am I missing something or have they not fixed the problem yet?
Unfortunately they didn't fixed it yet. But you can change the AC and HP for leveling up maybe. I will use the "create every level as a different monster" method for now.

Any ideas?
Currently the sidekicks tab is set up for each sidekick level to be a different monster.
So you qould have to create a homebrewed direwolf for each sidekick level needed.
Is there any notion on when this will change?

I'm hoping it might be part of the 2021(~early 2022) character sheet updates, but more than likely it will be part if a TBD monster builder update.
