Currently in either browser mode or mobile mode, the what's next isn't loading up. Making sheet exporting impossible to perform.
Is there going to be alternative export methods? Perhaps housed in the My Character section, right next to edit and view?
Is there a flag of some sort that wont let a character export if there is a flaw in the character? How can we troubleshoot the issue?
Is there a reason an export only fails with one character and not the other?
Do I need to delete and recreate the character? This would lead to a lot of customer pain (frustration, anger and outbursts in regards to functionality).
Thanks for you time.

Don't limit yourself to one experience, travel the breadth of experiences and explore, because that action will increase your capacity and capability.
Or, in lamens terms, GM multiple tabletop formats and games to learn and diversify your understanding of mechanics, experiences, and wicked tools to make your games better.
I prefer the fancier way because then you can apply it to your life, and nod to some wisdom!
Sorry that you are having problems exporting your sheet. There will be more options in the future, but right now it is limited to both current locations in the builder and sheet. Could you please link me to the character that is giving you problems so I can see what's giving ya issues? Thanks!
I created a new character and now I could export the aforementioned character (after 24 hours of not being able to).
Something else that I am noticing is that updates applied through edit, don't immediately reflect in the export file after its re-exported post edits.
Is there a general delay in the process and is there an advised timeline for people to wait for updates to take effect? Or is it intended to be the moment the update is submitted?
A few other things I noticed:
-Loaded (custom uploads) character portraits dont appear on the export sheet
-"Other" notes dont appear on the sheet
As an aside to the above, thank you for your response and the details regarding potential updates and intentions. I believe this tool would be outstanding when it hits live release. Though I would prefer not to rebuy digital versions of my physical books. This app is perfect for the player who doesnt want to haul books everywhere.

I'm sorry you had issues exporting your character, as we aim to make it as quick and painless as possible. Now to answer a few of your questions:
1. The edits to a character should be immediate, If you can let me know what kinds of updates weren't being updated, I can investigate into that and see what's going on there. We do currently impose a limit on the number of times you can export your sheet within a small period of time. That is only to prevent malicious abuse of the PDF generation system and we will be improving that over time
2. Currently the portraits for a character are not injected into the PDFs. We definitely have that in the backlog and is just one of many things we plan to do to keep improving the tools over time.
3. Good catch on the "Other" notes not showing up. I confirmed this is missing and we will get that updated to include it in the PDF.
I'm glad you are enjoying the site and appreciate you using the tool. We will keep adding more and more to the site so that the value you receive will only get better!
The easiest way to recreate the issue is go through the character creation process from beginning to end and do the first export, then return to the sheet and edit any of the fields in description, like hair color or back story. Then proceed to the whats next screen and export again. You should see no difference between the firts and last export.
I got into the habit of entering the data, then shrinking the category and expanding it again. The data didnt stick.
Something else happened through the week that I figured I would raise. When I sent my exported sheet to my DM, it was blank on his end. And one of my personal exports had ultra tiny text in the backstory area.
I was abke to correct it on the pdf itself, but it appears that the formatting can break, likely due to pdf viewer builds.
Thanks for your continued support! I appreciate it.
