Is there no way to edit the name of the campaign once it’s setup? We’re transitioning from Phandelver to Witchlight and I can’t find a way to edit that.
Edit: never mind, you have to choose the notes near the bottom of the page which will allow you to edit the name and “about” sections. That’s annoyingly obtuse.
Is there a way to select a DM for a campaign. Me and several friends share the content, I paid for it. But there is one campaign that I just play in, I don't need to see everyone's stuff.

When content sharing is on, all players' content is shared. But you need to be a Master Subscriber manager of a campaign to activate it.
Would it be possible to create a DM screen from the campaign page? Not even a full DM screen per se, but just a compilation of all the characters abilities so the DM could have them in one place. Specifically, Passive Perception/Insight, languages, current and max HP would all be amazing to have easy access to. In an ideal world there would be a desktop version as well as one that pulls everything up on the app or a phone browser. Skills and spell lists would also be nice, but the other items I listed would be key.
I’m assuming this has been mentioned elsewhere, but it would be really cool for the DM of a campaign to:
1) Be able to determine what sources (official and homebrew alike) are available for each campaign… and even more granular for each character in a campaign, (example: I have an item/feat/spell made for one person, that’s the only person I want to have access to it. I don’t want it to be an option for other people in that campaign, and certainly not for other campaigns; example 2: player is sharing content, but I don’t want specific abilities/items/feats/etc in a specific setting.)
2) Be able to hand off the DM role to another person in the campaign.
3) Be able to create an ‘NPC’ (possibly as a separate folder and/or similar to the encounter builder) that can be attached to a specific campaign (or multiple)
4) Be able to send DM notes/items/spells/feats to specific characters, and be able to track them easily on the DM notes pages.

a campaign control panel for the website sounds really helpful. for now, you can see something similar if you open your phone/tablet app to Gameplay > My Campaigns > select a campaign > Characters tab. It gives hp, armor class, exhaustion, passive perception, darkvision, and a little icon if they have inspiration. wish i could add friendly NPCs!

unhappy at the way in which we lost individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
tell them you don't like features disappeared quietly in the night: providefeedback!

If your friendly NPCs are creature stat blocks you can't add them, but if you created them as characters you just need to add them to the campaign.
there is a seperate Post in feedback, but it is also a part of the "Campaigne Management".
We need a feature to hide the Class and Race in the Campaigne Screen. Right now every Player can see these information and if you want or not, you take a quick look and our know, oh this character is a "Dhampir" or "Warlock".
It makes character group surprises more or less impossible.
A little check mark for the DM to hide these kind of information in the Campaign would be awesome.
A couple things for the campaign builder/management as a DM:
Mobile friendly view of the Campaign Notes and Description for Players and for the DM
A maps section or digital props section would be great, so I am able to upload and share notes, maps, or other photos with players at the table quickly via Campaign View and they have it as reference later
Game Log that allows "DM Session Notes", it'd be great to review the Game Log and recount the encounters or highlights from each session
Quick Reference capability of any "monsters"/"NPCs" in the DM Notes section, like the pop up we have in other tools
How do I invite people to my campaign if I'm on mobile? Am I just being dumb or is this like an actual thing?
From the app or from a browser on mobile? I don’t think you can from the app. From the browser it should work as normal. Might need to turn device to landscape or sear for a button or tab.
Don't suppose you know how to create the links for campaign and encounters. Like when you look at the Phandelver campaign you see all the text lined up like the paper copy, complete with table to left to navigate it. The campaign is broken up into chapters, etc. How do we do that for our own campaigns?

The Notes sections use the same formatting tools as the forums. So you can do indents, links, and even spoiler blocks. However, for something as long as a campaign, that can get unwieldy. I used to do my campaign notes/plans that way and finally gave up. Because I have a Dropbox subscription for other reasons, I now use Dropboxes Paper function to plan out my campaigns, and include links to maps, encounters, etc. OneNote would likely work similarly, and potentially Google docs.
I have bought Tales from the Yawning Portal and have been trying to add it to my campaigns to play online through Above VTT. When I go in to add it the only premade campaigns listed are "Lost Mines of Phandelver", "Frozen Sick and "Prisoner 13".
What do I need to do to get the Yawning Portal campaigns to show in the list of premade campaigns so I can add them to an online game?

i can't speak directly about Above VTT, as I've not used it before.
What I can say is that there is nothing particularly special about the "premade campaigns." They are a new addition to DDB. All they've "premade" is that automated the process for making a "campaign" for you that shows up in Collections>My campaigns. They gave it a name matching the adventure, added a pretty picture taken from the campaign sourcebook in question, and added some text to the DM notes and Public notes. You can do all of that yourself. Those of us who have had campaigns on DDB have been doing so since they first introduced the "campaign" feature.
Since Above VTT has been around a lot longer than these premade campaigns, I am quite certain that it is not necessary to use a "premade campaign" to use Above VTT. Note that Above VTT is a third party extension, not a part of DDB. I did look at the first part of their intro video, and enabled the extension briefly to test it. You do need to create a campaign, but you can do that yourself: Collections>My Campaigns>New Campaign.
Probably a sound strategy.

I just joined today and i'm wondering if there is an easy way to share a maps or other artwork in the current version of the campaign manager.
Is there no way to edit the name of the campaign once it’s setup? We’re transitioning from Phandelver to Witchlight and I can’t find a way to edit that.
Edit: never mind, you have to choose the notes near the bottom of the page which will allow you to edit the name and “about” sections. That’s annoyingly obtuse.
cannot ask for less, i think the campaing manager that we have here is so limited... hope one day work on it

A couple things for the campaign builder/management as a DM:
I want to see these features:
Wizards should purchase a company like LegendKeeper and integrate it into D&D Beyond.
