I made sure I selected "Optional Class Features" on the home page part of my character page.  I closed and reopened D&D Beyond.  But the spells listed under Optional Class Features for the bard are not showing up when I go to manage my spells.  My character is a bard.  

I read through that, but that's for Tashas Cauldron of Everything - and the Optional Class Features are regular spells out of the handbook.  Command and Enlarge/Reduce for example.  The problem is that when I go to add spell on my character sheet - they aren't available, although I have "Optional Class Features" selected.

It doesn't show that is from Tasha's at all?  And the spells are in the basic list, just not the Bards.  The next reply resolved the issue BTW

That was it!  I didn't do the second part (on the class page) - didn't know it existed.  AWESOME!  Thanks so much LurkyTheHatMan!
