Please correct me if I am wrong as I am happy to be so.
I recently purchased the Essential Kit as I am sure a lot of people have. I redeemed the code for the adventures from my mobile before I even got home. I saw the list of content appear for a moment but paid it very little attention. My mistake. I got home and went to look and see what I had unlocked but couldn't seem to find it anywhere. A quick google search points me to https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources but this list shows EVERYTHING available with seemingly no indication of what I actually own. I went to my purchases hoping to see something there but all that says is 'Essentials Kit Bundle' with no link or explanation of its contents. I searched in the search at the top for "essentials kit" and get a list of everything that mentions it anywhere. This did however help me to narrow it down. I've since figured out which ones they are and they are listed first for me when I go to that page so maybe that's how it shows me what I own?
I would love for there to be a 'My Content' section where I can just see all of the things unlocked on my account. Maybe it's there and I just can't find it?
Thank you for you reply but this does not address the issue. I was already able to determine which modules I have access to. My feedback is that there does not seem to be any centralized location for content I own. You mentioned it yourself, fourth one down. I'm looking for one place I can go to, 'My Content' if you will, where I can see everything I own. Sorry if I'm not making sense.
I have this problem. It would be great if there was a "My Content" area where i can see exactly what i own.
Bit of a nightmare that we have to go to the marketplace and manually check what we do/don't own. I have to remember what i have and then search for it in the marketplace. What if i forget individual modules that i own? The extra modules for Essentials Kit is a good example. I can't remember their names, so it would be good if there was a section in/near my account/profile that lists everything i own.
That way i can flick from one adventure to another without having to leave and manually search the marketplace. If we get anything for Xmas, i hope it's this. (",)
Back from the dead kinda....the only way I have found to do this is click the "view recent purchases" and then it points me to a list of exactly what I have bought. However its mindboggling there is no "my unlocked content" tab.
Hello I've just bought the Essentials Kit and a couple other bits and pieces and I have the same issue. I would love to see a 'my purchased content' section where I can just open what I have rather than seeing everything. I'm a newbie and want to try it out with some mates before I buy everything, but looking for what I have access to is a bit of a nightmare.
Stumbled on this thread because I bought a few books to run my first campaign. How is there no centralized way to see what I own ? Or even something as simple as highlighting which content is owned from the drop-down menu.
Adding my (also confused) voice to this request. Recently purchased the Essentials Kit as my first foray into this and can't quite believe there's no central page listing showing what I have access to. The process described above of having to root around in the marketplace based on knowing what I already have access to is just bad UX. I assumed I was missing something - by the replies above I conclude that I'm not.
I installed the DND Beyond mobile app last night and this feature is there front and centre under "My Account / My Content" - it even categorises them by Rules / Adventures - so I can't understand why the website isn't doing this.
Please add a listing page which collates simple links to purchased / unlocked content e.g. "Collections/My Content" "Marketplace/My Purchased Content"?

Hover your mouse over your username at the very top right of the page. When a menu drops down, click on <Account>. On your account page, click on the <Marketplace> tab, there should be a row of grey tabs right below your profile picture and username. On your account's Marketplace tab page, scroll all the way down until you see <Current Product Licenses>, and it should list all the licenses you own.
Hi, thanks for your input. The issue is that it just lists current product licences but doesn't then hook from those licences to what content they grant access to - a list of each individual content item (the 4 adventures in the Essentials Kit in this case) and a link to that item would be perfectly adequate here even if there would be better places to present this. Otherwise, it's no clearer what content this provides access to and where I need to go to find direct access to each of them by digging around in other parts of the site.
What's mildly infuriating about this is that the mobile app does it, exactly as you would expect: a list of the content (not the pack or licence but the individual items) you've got access to with a link to view each - that's literally all it needs to be. And the fact that the thread author raised this last August and 10 months later that still hasn't been resolved is a bit baffling for such a seemingly basic requirement.

In that case, you will need to use the license page and the Marketplace concurrently to figure what you have access to. Alternatively, you can use the license page with the database and enter in all the sources you own for the filters, that allows you to see all the options you purchased in one place, although it does not include individually purchased monsters, items, etc.
None of those solutions involve doing things neatly on one page, but it is the best way to figure out what you own currently via the website.
Hi, cheers for your further thoughts. I think we can agree it's a bit clunky, and it's probably only the Essentials Kit that really suffers as mostly everything else will be an analogue "Buy Access to thing, Get Access to it" relationship. It's unfortunate that it might be particularly the first-time buyers' experience that their first purchase unlocks 4 'somethings' but there are no obvious lists or links without some unwieldy digging and cross-referencing. There we go, hopefully "My Unlocked Content" might appear at some point. Cheers.
Recent Essentials buyer here. Same problem as everyone else not being able to quickly divine which content I own among a maelstrom of confusing titles. App shows what you have access to; website does not. That's mad. It's incredibly frustrating not to readily know which content you have bought and an unnecessary hurdle for newcomers. Terrible web UX that should have been fixed years ago.

Agreed. Especially since the essential kit adventures are not bundled or sorted in the menu. There is a reason numbers are not arranged alphabetically.
Hey, recent Essentials Kit purchaser here and want to add my voice to the thread! Overall I really like DnD Beyond and thus have begun investing in it! (Snagged the PHB.) Thanks for making a solid and handy product! No doubt a lot of hard work. I'm among those who would really like a more easily accessible way to view our owned content on the website. Hope it's on its way. Thanks for the extra adventures for Icespire Peaks, keep up the great work!
I recently bought a subclass from the DM guide. If I go to the DM guide source book I can see the little check that I own it, but I can't read the owned content?
Is there a place I can access the owned content before I update my character sheet?

I own everything, so I cannot confirm for sure, but I think buying the subclass option does not unlock the compendium content that you can read within that sourcebook.
If you want to read the compendium content, you will have to go the subclass's main class page and read about it there. Hover your mouse over <Game Rules> in the menu bar at the top of the page, then click on the class that your subclass is from, and then on the class page, just scroll down until you see your subclass.

Yeah, compendium is one separate, all or nothing item.

You got the adventure Dragon of Icespire Peak, which is contained within the Essentials Kit. You'll find it under sources, fourth one down.
You also will have access to Divine Contention, Sleeping Dragon's Wake and Storm Lord's Wrath, three DDB exclusive adventures.

The only place I can think of that indicates which content you have is the market place.
(It stops being an issue once you've bought everything...)
Yes exactly that now I have wait till Monday night at Midnight to read that new adventure, the wait is killing me lol.

Pretty crappy UI if you ask me.
