So I know private Homebrew is auto shared to anyone in my campaign if content sharing is on. I was wondering if there was any for me to hide certain homebrew creations from my party while still having some visible.
When I do this, I can no longer access the Homebrew on any of my character sheets. And when I try to re-add the Homebrew to my collection (Feats), it still doesn’t show up. This effectively invalidates my Homebrew by not allowing it to be added to my sheets, is there something that I’m un aware of when adding stuff back to my Homebrew Collection, or is this some sort of weird bug that nobody seems to be talking about?

It just takes a little time is all. Add them to your collection and do something else for a few minutes. They should appear after a bit. Then you can use them for your characters and once they are there you can remove those homebrews from your collection again. Anything already on a character will stay there, but nobody else will be able to use them as long as they are out of your collection. You can always “add” and “remove” as many times as you like.
I did this and it deleted my items from both my collection and creations! :(
Removing from collection will never delete your homebrews. If you remove homebrew that you added to your collection from someone else, then they were never your “creations” and so they were never listed under your creations in the first place.
If you did accidentally delete your homebrews you can retrieve them, go to “your creations” and where it lists Public and Privet simply hit “X” those and select “Deleted” and you will be able to see all of your deleted homebrews and will be able to restore them there.
I know this is an old thread, but it would be really cool if we could have a homebrew collection per campaign. That would make it very easy to keep stuff separated between multiple campaigns. I frequently use feats to grant specific players specific boons based on the character and what is happening in the campaign. Those are not things I ever intend to be used in a different campaign.

Once one of your players adds their boon to their character sheet, you can remove that feat from Your Homebrew Collection and then it will not be available for any other players to see. The intended player will retain use of the feat, but nobody else will be able to use it.
That's an OK work around, but it would still be nice to have multiple collections. Seems like a big oversight. Another example, I'm running two campaigns set in different settings. In one I added a bunch of feats that are specific to that world, and they now appear in the other campaign as well. So when my players are leveling up, and I have make sure they're not using content intended for a different setting. But since both games are still in progress, I have to have the feats in the list.

D&D Beyond FoundersOnly homebrew in your COLLECTION will be shared.
You can remove homebrew you've created from your collection and still access it from your creations page.
