My DM shared his collection with me, however, I cannot create any characters from VGtM or any other additional book despite him owning them. Is there something I need to do to unlock this or do I have to go but the book myself despite him sharing with me?
If you were given access to the materials via content sharing on a campaign, you need to create the character IN the campaign in order to gain access to the unlocked options in the character builder.
Instead of going to My Collections>my characters>create character, go to my collections>my campaigns then click the campaign. Then click create character.
I already have Volo guide purchased, but I can't see the race or Volo source option in the builder... what am I missing?
*edit* I think one of my players must have shared the Volo sourcebook with me rather than purchasing it, because if I create the character in the campaign I can see the options.
Does anyone have any information whether or not Firbolg will be added to races?
Firbolg is already present in the builder, a purchase from the Marketplace is needed to unlock it.
D&D Beyond can be used for free and contains information from the following "free to use" sources published by Wizards of the Coast: D&D 5th edition SRD, D&D 5th edition Basic Rules, and Elemental Evil Companion.
Content from other sources, such as the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, or Monster Manual, will need to be purchased from the Marketplace or accessed via another user sharing content with you via their Master Tier Subscription.
Any idea which add-on I need to purchase to unlock Firbolgs?
Volo's Guide to Monsters.

If you can't afford the whole book, you can purchase the race pack for less, or even an individual race.
Then if you buy the entire book later, the parts you've already paid for will be subtracted from the price.
