I have a paid subscription but I’m not seeing all the background options in my character creator. I’m looking for the charlatan background specifically. Do I need to download or change something to get this option available in the drop down menu?
Subscriptions do not unlock any content whatsoever.
If we want any content unlocked, we must either purchase the books from this website, or we must at least purchase the individual options we want ala carte.
Why aren't the backgrounds in the player handbook showing up? Like Charletan or Outlander.
Do you own that content? Or does someone in your campaign own that content and has Content Sharing enabled in a campaign with a Master Tier subscription listed?
So in order to get the backgrounds from the players handbook you have re buy the book on this web sight even thou you have a hardcopy or pdf from drive thru?

And no I don't own the content on DND beyond.
There are no legal PDFs of any WotC publications for 5e other than the ones WotC published for free, the Basic Rules, the SRD, and the Elemental Evil Player’s Companion. Any PDF copies of other books are illegally made and distributed.
This website is not some official tool maintained by WotC. This website is owned by a completely separate company, and operates as an online digital bookstore that only sells D&D products. They have made some fancy features like the character builder for folks to use for free with the books they purchase from this online digital bookstore.
So yes, if you want to use the fancy free tools that this bookstore provides to best advantage, you actually have to buy some stuff from this bookstore.
However, if all you want is one background, you can just purchase that all by itself for around $2, and it will count as credit towards the purchase of the entire book in future if you decide to do that down the line.
Also, the full version of the PHB from this web store is less than $30, so a full 40% less than the MSRP for that same book at your local brick-and-mortar store.

Content Troubleshooting
Drive Thru RPG does sell books from Wizards of the coast, but I guess 5e hasn't been approved yet. It doesn't matter now.
Incase anyone has this issue (as I just did) it seems coming out the campaign (with the content sharing) and then going back into it, worked.
eg:
1) Copy the campaign link.
2) Remove character from campaign.
3) Use the link to add the character back into the campaign.
Worked for me, went from 10 backgrounds to 40! :)
