In one of my campaigns I play a Pact of the Tome Warlock who has taken the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation that allows my character to transcribe ritual spells into their Book of Shadows. Currently DnD Beyond doesn't really have a way to manage the ritual spells in the Book of Secrets. I can't add them to my normal spell list, because I've already reached the capacity of my known spells list, and because most ritual spells aren't on the normal Warlock spell list, they don't show up as options under the "Add Spells" section anyway.
It would be really great if there was a dedicated way of organizing the Book of Shadows, where it's something under the "Class Features" section, or a designated box in the "Spells" section, I'd just like some way of keeping track of this.
I added a custom homebrew item to my character that contains the spells I get from the invocation. It's not the optimal fix, but it allows you to track it until DNDB addresses the issue.

I did exactly the same. You can even hyperlink the names of the spells in the homebrew item and give it a cool picture.
Nice. Thanks for the updates. I took your suggestions and had just created a home brew item that I update with the spells I have transcribed.
I’m playing around with the new feature they just released, and it’s definitely more intuitive, but I still wish that it granted you the Book of Shadows item. I might just keep my homebrew item in my inventory anyway.

As of an hour ago, this is implemented!
I noticed that as well! Excited to see it's been updated!
edit: You're now able to add your rituals under the Book of Ancient Secrets item on the warlock class page in the Eldritch Evocations slot.

Yeah, I've also updated on the Character Builder, but keeping my homebrew Book of Shadows as a stylish accessory.
