It would be great in character creator to have an option to ONLY show content I have purchased. I realize it is a way to sell extra content by showing what else it there. But it would be great to have the option to NOT see it.
Example, I purchased quite a few sources last week. I did not purchase Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, but yet I see the Gith
I sort of agree. When looking at the menu "sources", I would love to either only see sourses I have purchased or that those I haven't be greyed out and move those I have moved to the top/front.
I had asked a similar request previously through Twitter: the option to save previous search sources. The objective was the same, to limit search results to what I actually had access to.
Good news: I got feedback! They said they'd look into it! And then a checkbox appeared that would do that exact thing!
Bad news:
the box is only in My Encounters > Edit > Monsters tab
it's per-computer-per-browser based (cookie or browser's local storage) as opposed to DnD Beyond account based
it saves all filters instead of just Sources which kind of muddies its usefulness
If you need to make minor changes to your search, it already preserves your previous search for you to tweak without the checkbox. If you're starting a brand new search, Sources is the one filter that you might actually want to keep.
I hope they will improve this feature such that:
it shows up in all of the Game Rules sections (spells, monsters, backgrounds, etc...) as a checkbox beside the Sources box
it's available even if you haven't logged in yet
when you are logged in, it'll save to your account
I love the grayed out option, then it shows what you have and what you could have. And in the grayed out options, like a background, show a short description and not just a link to the marketplace.
I know they are working on Adventures League, I think this would be a good tie in.
Guess what! I've solved this! You can very easily create a bookmarklet which will automagically set the source filters to a preset list with a single click.
I described the process in full in this reddit post, but in case it disappears, here is the bookmarklet code:

The character builder does not show option you don't have access to. If you are in a content sharing campaign, someone else may have bought Gith.

Apologies for replying to this long-dead thread, but I figure if you've replied to it then you may want to know!
