I have just started using DnD Beyond having moved from another 3rd party tool. What I think they got which is missing from DnD beyond at least on the export is better information for the 'features and traits" for instance this is the list I get
Monk:
- Hit Points
- Martial Arts (d4)
- Proficiencies
- Unarmored Defense
- Ki
- Unarmored Movement (+10 ft.)
Racial Traits:
- Darkvision
- Gnome Cunning
- Natural Illusionist
- Speak with Small Beasts
These are lacking context. What would be nice is a simple sentence and a reference to the book and page number so the player can look up that information as it is likely if they are exporting they have the physical book at the session as well. Also, I should note that as a monk the above does not tell me how many ki points I have or what I can spend them on i.e. Flurry of Blows.
As a group that when we play like to use pen and paper, but tooling like beyond to manage our characters between sessions, being able to export a file is desirable. For now, I guess we can import the details into a third party app to get those missing details.
Also, I note my background does not get populated in the exported field even though it is in main app.
Short descriptions will very much be in the character sheet revamp that will be released soon. Part of that revamp is improving the character sheet export as well. Believe me, we've had to add in short descriptions manually for a few choice characters and we know it is a time consuming process at this time.
Yeah thanks, was going to reply and say that for the top sheet I want how I can spend my ki and similar now thing, the second sheets box traits the more occasional or things that are less battle oriented I guess like speak with animals in my forest gnome monks case or the unarmored defence.
However, can I make a request for the export character sheet it would be good if it had little boxes like the digital one does for ki so I could mark when I have used and then erase on a long rest. Similar idea for a barbarian and rage.
Also appreciate the work to improve beyond.

Agreed. On said 3rd party apps you get something like this:
- Flurry of Blows. After you take Attack action, spend 1 ki to make 2 unarmed strikes.
- Martial Arts. Make an extra unarmed strike when you take Attack action.
- Patient Defense. Spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action.
- Step of the Wind. Spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action and jump distance is doubled for the turn.
