I dont understand, your tone suggests complaint, then say it is good to have all books, including adventures, under one sources menu unlike the website -- but this website does have all books under one sources menu. Your very selectively cropped image fails to show that the sources menu does, indeed, show the adventures too.
My point (as well to others) is that if you have purchased something you should search for it among a list instead simply find it under your account sub menu in short list.
It is not my image (guessing is favorite game) took it from another discussion for the same, because you can't upload an image, should be link.
As example I have the Essential kit. If it is not highlighted it is unlikely to notice which are my books.
Taking again the screenshot notice I have 4th adventure in the bundle. Go and figure which small image is yours if you do not recall a book purchased a month ago.
Cyb3rM1nd, you are getting the point incorrectly. It is about a convenience. This function is not good, on other hand the tutorials are well made. So proofs the creators know how to store content and show you how to find it.
Also, frankly, they're running out of room on the Sources tab, and are going to have to come up with something new within the year. You can only make that text so small. Making sure they're aware of how useful it would be to more easily see what content you own/don't own/have shared with you is something useful for them to take into account when doing a redesign.
I know I'm bumping a super old post, but I agree! I wish I could just access my books like I do from the mobile app. I enjoy being able to have multiple tabs open from my computer, but searching for the books is tedious.
I’m going to chime in here. I have used this site for quite some time and have purchased several sourcebooks. I wanted to get the artificer, and already own the physical Tasha book, so didn’t want to shell out another $30, but happily paid 2 bucks for the artillerist.
I was able to create a character with no bumps in the road, but when I try to find the actual text content to read up on it, it is a Herculean Labor. Going to Tasha’s Cauldron from the marketplace or sources and licking the “artificer” in the menu only takes me back to the marketplace to buy the book. None of the advice given above works (in fact, some of the places and features suggested seem not to even exist).
i finally found a way to do it. I used the search bar and found a readable version that way. It works, which is fine, but it is silly to have to do that. When are we finally going to get a menu that shows us what we own with Hyperlinks to those purchased sources?

This doesn't answer the question that is your last sentence, but when purchasing a-la-carte, one way to get access to the text that is part of those purchases is the Game Rules menu. So, for the artillerist, one goes to Game Rules>Classes>Artificer, the then chooses artillerist from the side bar.
Honestly, this was the first tip that worked. Holy cow this is difficult. There really should be a link from the My Orders table to the sources page where that content is available. Speaking as a very amateur web designer.
I recently purchased the book specifically of nice maps. Tactical Maps Reincarnated. its not listed as prerelease its. not listed under source book or adventures and it's not an option inside of MAPs. I am puzzled but probably missing it - a hint would be lovely.

I am able to download the onto my phone in a "book" format which I can read in the ap. On the PC though? I'm mostly reduced to hunting and pecking.
Oh wait, nope, the sources tab has the same. That'll do.

Thank you for this answer! I could not for the life of me figure it out!
Ya know, it would be really nice if there was a link in your order history you could click on and just go straight to what you want.
