I decided to give all of the players a feat at level 3, in addition to normal progression, in order to allow them to use interesting feat combinations earlier in the character's lifespan. So I created a homebrew item that grants the sentinel feat. However, when I edit the character and try to add an item, I cannot find the item listed. Am I going about this wrong? Is there a trick to it? Perhaps I have to publish the item for use in my campaign?
Make sure the character has Homebrew Content enabled on the HOME section of the Character Builder.
Don't publish an item unless you want everyone in the world to have it; you don't need to for your own campaigns, and it's best to avoid publishing until you've thoroughly playtested a homebrew.
You can go to the Features & Traits tab of each character sheet, go down to Manage Feats, and just add the Sentinel feat to each person you want to have it. There's no restriction on adding feats at times other than for ASIs.

You are absolutely correct on both counts. When I enabled homebrew on the character, the item showed up, but using the manage feats option you mentioned, I was able to add the feat without the homebrew. Thanks a lot!
