Hello, is there a way to have players with their character sheets in a campaign be viewable only by the DM?
I have a strict eyes off policy on players viewing other players' character sheets directly in my campaign, and I also have a player pretending to be a different race and is hiding the fact she's a tiefling from the rest of the party. If they can view her sheet on D&D beyond that ruins everything, but I still want to have access to their sheets myself as the DM and give them access to the books via content sharing since I'm a subscriber.
Does this feature exist or is there a work around? If not I suppose this is a now a suggestion. Thank you for help in advance.

If the sheets are set to “private” then they will only be able to see each other’s Race and Class, but you will still be able to see their sheets. To obfuscate race, make a homebrew copy of the race and change the name to something different like “human” and have that player use the custom version.
That should work; thank you for the input. I'll try that now. Are the sheets set to "private" during the creation process?
At any time. On the “home” tab of the character creator there is a toggle for it.
You will still be able to view/edit the sheets as DM, but you won’t be able to quickly rotate through the sheets anymore, you will have to go back to the campaign page each time to select a different sheet. (That’s the downside for DMs of having them set as private.)
