I created a level 1 dragonborn monk and when I see his sheet on the app it shows the “Draconic flight” feature that should be available only at level 5!
Where does draconic flight show up on the character sheet? I created my dragonborn character before the 2024 PHB. She is level six but I can't find anywhere that shows the draconic flight. I think the other 2024 changes are reflected on the character sheet. Do I have to do a new one?

Unless you've updated the species to the 24 version, you're not going to get the 2024 features. You don't need to remake the character, just update its species.
(If you don't have access to the 2024 PHB, you only have the species in the free rules, which doesn't include Dragonborn)
But, after updating the specifies and the class and all my spells (which I wouldn't have twigged to without your suggestion) I still can't find draconic flight on the character sheet, and it appears that Bernardopeix saw it somewhere. Any suggestions?

It might be helpful if you could post a link to your character here so we can take a look at it. To do that you'll need to set the "Character Privacy" setting on the Home tab to "Public".
If you look at the various species traits (on the "Species Traits" subtab under the "Features & Traits" tab) you'll see that next to each of them is "BR" and a page number. This means that you are using the old version of the Dragonborn species from the 2014 Basic Rules (which is what "BR" stands for). This version of the species did not have the "Draconic Flight" feature; that was added in the new version from the 2024 Player's Handbook.
So, like jl8e said, to get that feature you need to go to the Species tab in the character builder and change your species to the 2024 version of the Dragonborn. You will need to actually own the 2024 Player's Handbook, or have access to it through campaign content sharing, since this species is not part of the new free rules.
Also, just as an aside, your character appears to be wearing armor she is not proficient with, which will make it impossible to cast spells and put disadvantage on a lot of things you try to do.
Thanks so much--finally have draconic flight showing. Terrifically happy about that though our druid is jealous. I thought I had changed to 2024 but obviously not--I think I had failed to click off the 2014 button?
Also, got rid of the chain mail. Don't remember how or why I added that and definitely may have been operator error.

Thank you for all the assistance.

Just to clarify: the "2014 Rules" switch that you're talking about does not "switch" from 2014 to 2024 options. All it does is cause options from the 2014 Player's Handbook and 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide to appear in all the various selections and drop-downs in the character builder. You still have to actually select a 2014 option if you want a 2014 option, or a 2024 option if you want a 2024 option.
What scoutberry and wagnarokkr are talking about is different from the original issue
Can confirm it appears that the text for Dragonflight shows up on the character sheet, under species features, even for a level 1 character. It shouldn't be there at all.
I do see it in the character builder regardless of level. I assume that’s an intentional choice since the Species tab doesn’t have an “At Higher Levels” section like the Class tab does.
I don’t see it on the character sheet until level 5, though, as expected.

Okay. I'll check my stuff out when I can get the time.
You are amazingly patient.
