Hi there! I like to buy physical books and only grab the things I want to use on D&D Beyond piecemeal - I can't see an option to buy optional class features for Tasha's Cauldron. Do I need to own the whole package or are they tied to having a subclass or something for the class you want from the book similar to how you get Artificer?
If you turn on Optional Class Features in the 1st character sheet page and then switch to them there is a link to the marketplace that has all available character features (or should it’s been very buggy).
I don't even see the option to turn it on the first page for me, but I bought Tasha's and it's in my library.
Just to be clear: you were in the character builder, on the Home page tab, and there is no “Optional Features” tab for you?
Those of you who are having trouble might try checking your entitlements: tap on your user name in the upper right corner of this page. Choose account. Tap on the Marketplace tab. Look at the section called Account Entitlements. If it says you need to sync, tap/click on the Sync button. When I checked mine after Tasha’s dropped, I had to resync.

No, as far as I can tell the CFVs are not available as an individual purchase option. Which really, really sucks hairy monkey balls.
It started working today actually when I went to go try your suggestion about entitlements. I had the option for Optional Class Features under the Optional Features section. Turned it on, go to class, now I have "Optional Feature Manager" dropdown under the Class.
Unlike the features in the Player’s Handbook, you don’t gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature’s description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use some, all, or none of them.
You currently have no available optional class features for this class

If I understood you correctly, you have purchased Tasha's but still aren't able to access the OCFs.
-make sure you bought the whole source, not just the "compendium only" purchase
-check to see if your entitlements need sycing as suggested above.

Have you bought Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything? If not, you have no options.
Is your DM sharing Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything with you? If so, you must be in that campaign or you won’t have any options.
If you mean a message regarding the optional class features, those are from Tasha's, you need to buy all of that book (not the compendium, either). Use the website, not the app, for faster turnaround.

even though i bought tasha's in full it still tries to take me to that page how do I get it to let me use them?
I’m having the same glitch and I’m stuck. I assume it’s a coding issue they’ll need to patch.
Any idea of how long that will take I have a game on Saturday that I need Instinctive pounce for?
Yeah I preordered Tashas but I can't access optional features on any class (yes I turned it on on first page).
I don't even see the option to turn it on the first page for me, but I bought Tasha's and it's in my library.

Ugh. Still stuck! I've brought everything now?

Do you have to own the who book (compendium and the individual resources) to gain access?
Yes.
I have bought the players handbook and it shows the same message as shared above in my app. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Optional Class Features aren’t in the PHB, they’re in Tasha’s Cauldron.
