In the Game Rules filter, could you please add a toggle or checkbox to filter for unlocked content? Currently, a user has to manually add the purchased content to the filter in order and this is a detriment to the overall user experience.
Somewhere in the database there exists a flag for whether or not a user has purchased certain content. Please add a checkbox in the filter for owned content. We know the flag exists since otherwise we'd have access to all or none of the content on this site. We know the filter exists and it works. We need just one little checkbox that will allow us to see only the content we've already unlocked.
I know that the marketing guys are thinking they're smart since a user would be more inclined to purchase the locked content if it was constantly in their face, but it currently hurts usability. Here is how I would sell it to them: The default view when a user first lands on the page could be the entire catalog, just as it is now. If there is just one easy to implement a toggle in the filter for unlocked content, then the user experience is better. Therefore, more people would be likely to use DnD Beyond, and since more people are more likely to use it more people would be likely to purchase content on the site instead of elsewhere.
It should seriously take no longer than an hour to implement, all of the framework is already in place, maybe a week at most depending on everyone's schedules.
This x1000. It would save me HOURS and make me feel like you care about the people who drop whatever money they can on duplicating all their sourcebooks digitally even if it's not ALL source books.

Hours... Over the course of several months? It only takes a few seconds to select your sources. And I've seen 1 resourceful user copy the URL data for the source filters so he could paste it in and not have to select them every time.

I've seen this request before, and I agree with it even though I have all the book.
