I stared a campaign yesterday for my group, a member of my physical group who purchased all content from the three core books and the Master Tier joined the campaign, but I still cannot see the content in Character Builder. I must be missing something else.

Make sure that the creator of the campaign or whoever has the Master Tier has enabled the sharing.
I am the DM of the campaign here, but our physical group shares the role of DM, adding to our collective story. Is there a way for me to add one of my characters to the campaign even though I am the DM?

Sorry if this has already been discussed/answered....
Will options for more PDF export layouts be available?
I'd forgotten that the "official" way of doing stats is to have the modifier in the big box with the score below, in small print. This is fingernails on a chalkboard, to me. I see that the PDF is editable, but I really don't want to have to do that every time I export.
Also, I've always found the "standard" sheet a bit bland and ugly. I'd love to see something fancier (MPMB's sheet is gorgeous).

Technically yes, join the campaign through the link.

Note that doing this and then leaving with the character will turn content sharing off if you're the DM and the one providing sharing functionality. I wrote this up as a bug yesterday, and while it used to be caused by both joining and leaving, it seems now only leaving triggers it.
Oh, here's another feature I'd like to see: Reordering attacks.
IME, most Fighters, etc. carry a dagger, but rarely use it. They want to see it on the list of attacks, but not first, even though it's pretty early, alphabetically. Specifically, I'm building a paladin who uses a greatsword, most of the time. I'd really like to see that at the top of the list.
The Blade Ward cantrip is missing from the Sorcerer's available spells in the character creator. The Outlander background is wholly unimplemented. I haven't been keeping up with the development of all of this, so I wouldn't be surprised if these were simply planned to be added later. So far, I love this website and its tools. Keep up the good work.
Characters can spend downtime days to gain extra language or tool proficiencies — yet I don't see anywhere on the character builder/sheet to add proficiencies beyond what you start with.
They haven't introduced this yet. The way i've got round it is by creating a homebrew magic item that gives you the proficiencies you need and equipping it to your character
I'm still getting my players signed up to a campaign, so I can't test some of the features. But as far as sharing-- I think that it was said that a DM would have access to all the character sheets in a campaign. But is it possible to make a character from one player available to another? (Say someone is missing from the game that day and we want to have another player run his character).
I have a variant human who took the Alert feat. While that is showing on my initiative for an additional +5, I also took the Swashbuckler subclass for Rogue, and the Rakish Audicity feature is not affecting my initiative, which should add another +3.
The tool shows a lot of promise and feels way more polished than past 3rd party solutions. A few more things I'd like to see though in terms of feature parity: having prices and full metadata for inventory items and being able to add/subtract the cost from your money pool while building a character, being able to create custom magic items from the inventory menu, having the ability to override requirements for feats and other abilities, being able to randomly select background/traits/etc.
In terms of further feature requests beyond parity with existing tools: 1. The ability to automatically add starting equipment to your inventory instead of being given a list on a tab. 2. Cloning character sheets 3. Better display of advancement trees so that you can compare trees at a glance 4. Easier and clearer spell selection
Selecting the Martial Adept feat adds superiority dice but does not let you select maneuvers at all, nor does it display the maneuvers anywhere. This means that, in play, you have to go to the compendium, find the Battle Master, and look up your maneuvers if you want to see them, and note someplace which ones you've learned. Less than ideal.
So far I am really happy with everything you guys have done. I got the Legendary Bundle and I cant to assimilate some of these new features into my current campaign.
I have one question though. I cant seem to be able to get the character portraits to load up on my exported character sheets. All of the other things, such as spells and equipment seem to be exported just fine, but no portraits.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature not supported?
Thank you for all you guys have done so far.

Ah.. well that's unfortunate. One of my players wants to use a UA fighting style so his CS will be perpetually incomplete until UA is supported.

Feature Request (if it hasn't been posted already): Ability to add blessings and boons from the DMG.
I have a variant human who took the Alert feat. While that is showing on my initiative for an additional +5, I also took the Swashbuckler subclass for Rogue, and the Rakish Audicity feature is not affecting my initiative, which should add another +3.
I found the same issue for the thieves tools...any news on this?
