I must be making a fairly basic mistake, and I'd appreciate anyone who can set me right. My character is a Fey Wanderer Ranger who uses a bow with a couple of add-ons (special string to make arrows holy ammo plus a bow dangle to keep the spring from breaking). She also has two shortswords, a sling, and a dagger. On the character sheet, when I go to Actions -> Attack, I only see the longbow, the string, the sling and "unarmed strike". What am I doing wrong? I'd like to have all the weapons show up here so that when I am wielding them, I can easily calculate damage.
On my character here, you can see the equipment and I have checked the equipment that is "active"
and on the actions area of the sheet, you can see the active weapons have attacks listed. Note that the spare (non-magical) longbow isn't active, so doesn't show.
I had a look and there is no character with that ID number and the account name specified in the URL doesn't match your account - please can you check?
Did this ever get fixed? I have the exact same issue. It shows up on the character sheet digitally, but to print it out for an in person session, it does not show.

Same request that was made of the previous user:
Please post a link to your character sheet URL so someone can look at it for you.
What exactly is the problem? If it's something showing on your digital sheet but not your pdf sheet, you'd need to provide the link (url not share link) to your digital character sheet so that we can see what the difference is. Since I was able to work backwards from your pdf link to the digital one, here it is as a freebie: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/pgchambers/characters/56113392
Now then, is the problem that you're missing the Greatsword under attacks on the pdf? If so, had you created a pdf before you added that greatsword?

Not a link to the PDF, a link to the digital sheet. (That way the moderators can check it to see if everything is working correctly or if the need to notify the developers.) Its okay though, naruhoodie got you.
According to that your character is only equipped with a greatsword and javelins. And that’s what displays under attacks along with unarmed strikes (punches, kicks, headbuts) and it appears you also customized your breath weapon to display as an attack. (That requires saving throws instead of attack rolls, so it isn’t technically an “attack.”)
Your PDF isn’t displaying the greatsword. Okay. So, what had pro’ly happened was you “equipped” the greatsword and then generated the PDF too soon. After you set everything you gotta give the system 20ish minutes to make sure everything is caught up. (Usually less, but that’s the high end. Or it should be anyway.) Try generating a new PDF now.
I think i figured it out! I made a copy of the character and it worked perfectly glad about that.
If you'd recently changed your equipped weapons, you may have needed to wait 20 minutes to generate the pdf. Copying the character effectively "sets" everything right from the start so it all showed up as expected.

D&D Beyond FoundersCheck the box for equipped on the equipment panel. That causes them to display under actions.

I do not have a box for Equipped, I do have one for Active which is checked. What am I missing?

Yes, exactly. Under Equipment, I have these items selected as Active: https://www.screencast.com/t/kpMpXO8aA
But when I go to Actions -> attack I only see these: https://www.screencast.com/t/9L59Oj1Cu
Please post a link to your character sheet URL so Stormknight can look at it for you.
