I was super excited to try the Druid subclass Circle of Wildfire on a new character in my campaign. However I wanted to use DND Beyond character creator and I cannot use the subclass in that. Is there any update we could get to actually playtest content you have available for us?

Was there an announcement about dndbeyond no longer offering UA content? As a DM I highly value being able to experiment with UA content as it helps me think about building my own races/classes/whatever. Typically i'll take a look at a UA based build at levels 3, 5 and 11 to get a feel for how it'll stack up against other combos. this is easier to do in dndbeyond both because my other characters are there for reference and because the rules are baked in and i don't have to wonder if i interpreted something wrong.

You can make your comments and requests in that thread.
I'm 99.99% certain it will be ignored because D&D Beyond made this decision as a whole because they literally can't keep doing UA along with everything else and since UA is underused and temporary by nature (WotC decision, D&DB had no choice), it proved, most often, to be complete waste of time and resource.
But, of course, why let that stop you. Have fun.

appreciate the information and a link to the thread. for whatever reason that wasn't near the top of the results when i searched the forums for enabling playtest content (which is how i found this thread) because i remembered having it enabled before but couldn't find the option.
thank you pointing out the reasoning behind the decision - totally understandable perspective. i do think /can't/ is a bit strong but i take that to mean isn't worth the effort they put in given the resources they have to work with. maybe my feedback on the value i find will be of use, maybe not.
i would like to humbly encourage you to continue to be helpful but with a little less sarcasm and a little more empathy. by the fact that you responded with useful information i can certainly take this with an understanding that you are trying to be helpful and humorous but it doesn't always land with everyone that way.
no offense intended - and please don't let me discourage you from continuing to do your best to try and help people!
It's rude of them to just bluntly remove it. Playtesting UA content on here was what I like alot besides homebrew and loving the game. I love the Arcane Weapon spell and always have to use it on a manual character sheet to enjoy it. They should have kept it for the potential of homebrew who are trying to just exactly "copy & paste" playtest content via homebrew in order to have fun, and explore
D&D Beyond provided a window between the announcement and UA being removed for the very reason of allowing people to make copies. It's unfortunate if you missed the window, but keeping UA up indefinitely wasn't ever on the cards.
Hello!
I was super excited to try the Druid subclass Circle of Wildfire on a new character in my campaign. However I wanted to use DND Beyond character creator and I cannot use the subclass in that. Is there any update we could get to actually playtest content you have available for us?
Thanks.
Have you enabled Playtest content in the character builder?
If you enable this:
The circle of wildfire shows up at level three:

Ughhh Thank you so so much. I had been playing with settings and did not have it clicked!
The play test section is gone now
Playtest was for UA.
D&D Beyond no longer doing UA.
No more need for Playtest toggle.

Any place I could petition to bring this back?
The announcement was in the bizarrely named "News & Announcements" forum. I know. Wacky. Link is here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/news-announcements/116702-news-the-future-of-unearthed-arcana-ddb
