Is there any update on when we can expect this feature? It has been long requested and, I believe it was slated to be on the list of features under active development since sometime in July (?) I can't even remember its been so long coming! Is there a link where we can follow progress of what is under development? Thanks!
-I’m reasonably sure that homebrew monster statblocks are not automatically shared with players; I think there is a way to share them; and it may be that the are automatically shared if players search for them in the lists one can access in the extras tab, but I’m not certain.
-You can now select whether or not players have access to the compendium content of the resources being shared. It is not, however, possible to block access to character options.
I've just found a serious problem with this feature.
I'm running Laboratory of Kwalish with a bunch of my friends. In my campaign, I can turn off the Compendium sharing for that module. Great, no problem.
But I'm also in another campaign with the same group of friends, different DM. Because Content Sharing is on, and I'm in that group, the entire group has access to the Laboratory of Kwalish module!!
I could ask the DM to turn off content sharing for the compendium, but he's a player and my Kwalish module and this would effectively draw his attention to the fact that he can access it. :P
Are you planning to change it so that players other than the DM can restrict access to compendium content they own?
How does that even work. I was under the impression that purchased content by other players would not share, they had to be DM to do so...
I’m not sure where you got that impression, as this has never been the case. If a member of a campaign turns on content sharing, all content owned by any member of the campaign is shared with everyone in the campaign. The DM does (now) have the ability to “turn off” access to the compendium content of anything that is shared, regardless of ownership, but by default everything is shared.
Thanks, I was wondering about this. Still, I think I prefer to be able to share what I like with whom I like when I am player as well as when I am a DM. Still, your explanation is very clear.

Is there a way to choose what content is shared with the Master tier subscription?
Not currently, but it is a feature coming in the future.
Thank you.

^This please. I'd like to upgrade to the master tier but don't want ALL my content (homebrew monster stat blocks especially) shared with the players.
Any update on the status of this feature?
