Do you know whether there is any work going on that might make this easier? For instance I purchased Essential Kit Bundle. I actually have no place in my marketplace tab to see the exact adventures that are included, so I just have to remember that it's all the ones related to Icespire Peak. It would be really great to have something like "My purchased content" with all the different content I've purchased on here.
So I go to marketplace... it shows me what I bought... but not where I can go to actually look at it. I can't click on the things that I bought to go to them.
This is utterly absurd. Who designed this? It's like they are intentionally making this far more difficult than this needs to be.
I have to agree with the other posters. It's not easy to find your purchased content or even get a good overview of your content. I know it seemlessly integrates into your game rules etc. as you purchase it, but people coming from a "book" mindset will find this very counter intuitive.
I think you ought to do yourselves a favor and improve upon this. A bad purchase experience is never good for business.
If you view the Essentials Kit Bundle in the marketplace, it lists the sources contained within, as is the case with all the bundles:
Divine Contention
Sleeping Dragon's Wake
Dragon of Icespire Peak
Storm Lord's Wrath
I don't know if there are any plans to change how purchased content is displayed
Just so you know, I do realise you are not in control of any of this. But at least on my end the only way to find the Essentials Kit Bundle in the marketplace is via a direct link. I can't find it in the actual marketplace since I have purchased it.
This means that I need to go to my account, find that I've bought the EKB, google that name, click the link, see the included adventures, and then get to sources and locate them.
I am writing this primarily in case anyone else finds this thread later and are wondering how to find their stuff.

If you tap the “filters” button on the marketplace page, you can turn on a setting to see items you have already purchased. I agree, though, that it would be nice to have an easier way to see what one has purchased, and to access those sources from there.
Wow, this is, ummm, kind of total BS. I have re-read this page 3 times and I STILL cannot find a readable copy of Xanathar's Guide to Everything, which I just paid $33.89 U.S. for.
Not downloadable and not available for me to read online, unless I have a DEEP and counterintuitive knowledge of how your website works??? Sorry, not impressed at all. This was my first visit to D&D Beyond, after hearing it referenced so much in other places, so I guess I was expecting more. I am totally lost in this site. Can someone please show me how to find my crap? That I paid for?

This may be obvious but use these steps - go to the top of the page - hover your mouse over 'Sources' - under 'Sourcebooks' towards the left hand side, click Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
You should be able to read everything there?

Holy crap this is bad. I started playing a campaign that uses Beyond for character sheets. I couldn't create the race I wanted but I was able to purchase that specific race for $2 which was ok. So I looked around and thought "I should try buying an adventure to see how that works"... It took almost a week to find where I can even read what I purchased. My first thought was to go back to the bundles page and look there but once you buy a bundle it disappears. I looked at my purchase history and it shows "essential Bundle" with no list of what it contains. I spent hours looking around the site trying to find anything indicating "HEY, YOU OWN THIS THING HERE" but nothing. I had to find an external link to the bundle to get a list of books, then find them in the sourcebook section of the menu.
I had thought that since character creation was so well integrated with the sourcebooks that adventures would be integrated into the campaign builder in a similar way.
I mean this site has menus at the top like most sites. Hover over sources and voila. A list of the books. Click the one you bought and there it is.
Let's not blame D&D beyond for your inability to read properly or check menus. This site has millions of active users. If millions of us can use the site with incredible ease and you struggle - that's more a you thing than a site thing.

I just bought a book of maps in marketplace-Maps. I just want to look at them. Where do you hide/use my maps? Certainly typing in Maps in the search doesn't work. How do I add a map to an encounter?
I bought the Legendary Bundle and would also like to look at the battlemaps. So far I've not found them or link to them. I thought the adventures came with the battlemaps for use in VTTs?

The maps appear in the “compendium,” roughly in the same place they appear in the print books. If you go to the Sources menu above, choose the adventure in question, and scroll through to find the maps. (Check the table of contents first; in a few cases, maps—especially the “poster” maps—will be listed there). Press and hold, right click, or control click on the image (depending on your device) and choose “Open in new tab” (or “open in background” or similar). The map will open in a higher res in the new tab. From there you can download it in order to upload to a VTT service.
TIP: if you tap the first graphic (map, or illustration) in a chapter, and then tap the larger image of it that appears, a > will show up on the image. Then you can tap through the rest of the graphics in that chapter, until you get to a map. Makes it a little bit faster to find the maps.
NOTE: some of the “Player” versions still have secret doors and the like on it. This has to do with how the artists first did the maps—e.g. what layers such things were on—-and how WOTC generated the Player version. DDB does not have permission to alter the maps, so we are often stuck with imperfect player maps.

Thanks, I really appreciate the help. I did eventually find what I was looking for, I was just frustrated that it had eaten over an hour of my life (on a day where I had actual work to do, and had only planned to make a quick purchase on my break, so that's why I was bit snappish).
Sigh. I do still think them not having a simple point-of-purchase link makes things needlessly complicated... that's kind of User Experience 101, right? I mean, you want newcomers to be able to find their way around quickly. I don't mind taking time to solve a puzzle IN-GAME, but not when I'm purchasing resources for one. ;)
I just bought the two races from the new book. I go to the wild whatever sourcebook from the top menu, since I can't go directly from my purchases because that would be too easy, I click on the races... and it shows me the option to buy the whole book. It's even discounted because of the races I bought... but I CAN'T LOOK AT THE RACES.
Do you want us to find the things we bought?! Who can we talk to about this, this is ridiculous.

Most helpful. Thank you very much!
Sucks about the players versions though, but I guess I can fix that in GIMP if I need to.

It is so unclear, I read two articles and almost purchase the book twice before to figure out the whole gibberish.
So general idea is that - you purchase something - it is stuck under a menu or submenu for you to find somehow. Role d20 or higher for success.
In case of book > visit source and look for your purchased adventure.
That it is - simple - not like the bloody website.
