I just got Xanathar's guide and when I go to create a character and drop down the source list, Xanathar's isn't in there. Should it be? It has bits on Character creation.
That is correct, Xanathar's Guide to Everything has no races. You should be able to view the content of the source here. It has subclasses, feats, magic items and spells.
Awesome! Yes I can view the content as a "book", just thought it would be in the menu for some reason. I hadn't thought that, if there aren't races in the book, it wouldn't be there either. Makes sense, of course. You've been an awesome help. I just wasn't sure and I'm brand new to the tool so I'm not super-familiar with it yet. I'll be checking online resources to learn more about it. I'm notorious for missing the obvious.

Hello TheDhuddist,
It can take a little bit of time for the purchase to go live on your account, so if you just purchased it you may need to wait a little bit.
Just to confirm however, did you purchase the full book with character content ($29.99) or the Compendium Content ($19.99)?
I purchased the full book as far as I know. How would I check? I'm sure it was about $30.
*edit* Just checked, it was $29.99
I can see what I think are the special subclasses so maybe Xanathar's doesn't have races but only subclasses?
