I can't believe this isn't something already implemented, but I would like a way to copy homebrew content I have made without having to publish it. Or at least when you go to create new homebrew and it asks if you want to base it of something existing, your homebrew stuff is searchable too.

For example, I made a Ranger subclass that also incorporates a whole class rework in it. As it is now my rework only has the beastmaster subclass and if I wanted to use it with a different subclass, I have to erase the beastmaster parts and put the parts of the other subclass... but then if I want the beastmaster again I need to repeat the process. If I could just copy it and make the new version for another subclass, that would save me a ton of time and work.

So far the only way to do this is to publish the content (which given the nature of this homebrew, it can't be published) and then click on "create new version".

Edit: this is possible with items, now can it be done with subclasses?

This is possible;

Here is a homebrew magic item I have made, but you can see it's not been published:

And here it is as an option to copy

And here's the copy next to the original

 Then it doesn't work with subclasses, I checked.

Just had a look and yes, it appears subclasses can only copy published subclasses, not homebrew or UA.

I'll pass this limitation on as feedback.

Thank you.

Considering every other option allows this, was there a reason subclasses couldn't?  Or was it just no one noticed for years?

I imagine it couldn't be that difficult to implement since all the others work.

Bumping this topic because this is still one of the top search results on Google for copying your own homebrew subclasses, which is still not supported.

Any update on adding this functionality or why it appears to be the only private homebrew you can't create copies from?

Nope, I tried asking a couple times between then and now and from what I remember the website cant handle that option.... for some reason they never gave me, I guess that was too complicated to code in so they just didnt (again for some arbitrary reason, if it can handle races, items, etc, it should be able to handle subraces and subclasses).

Basically the website is looooooooong overdue for a revamp and update which will likely never happen. Most of the staff were fired when WOTC bought the site (not that there was much progress before hand) and now this site only exists to pump out stuff from new releases.

At this point I'm migrating Homebrew stuff to Foundry since WOTC doesn't care enough to update anything while taking that subscription money anyway.
