I have purchased the digital copy of Xanathar's Guide to Everything however when in character creation the backgrounds from Xanathar's (Charlatan, Entertainer, Guild Artisan, Hermit, Outlander, Sailor, and Urchin) are not showing up. I am able to see the book as owned in my source books and I have checked to make sure the entitlement is synced. I have already made sure to check that the content has been allowed and for extra measure I set everything to be allowed from all sources and partnered content.
Are you able to use other parts of XGTE in the character creation (eg subclasses like Divine Soul sorcerer or Gloom Stalker ranger), or is it only the backgrounds that you can't access? Do you own any other sources, and can you access those backgrounds, or are you only seeing ones from the Basic Rules?
I am able to access other parts of XGTE such as gloom stalker so I believe it is only the backgrounds that I am having trouble with. I own tashas cauldron and mordenkains monsters as well and both of those seem to be adding their content correctly. I don't believe either of those add backgrounds though. I do have curse of strahd shared with me and haunted one is available as a background.
Do you have the Player's Handbook? All those backgrounds come from the PHB. If you do not have the PHB (owned or shared with you) you won't have access to those backgrounds.

Ahh okay this must be the problem I don’t have the players handbook bought yet I thought since the backgrounds listed above are listed in XGTE Personal Decisions> Background section that they would be made available from this book. My bad I misunderstood what XGTE made available.
