First time posting, and relatively new DM. I opened my DND Beyond app today and saw that a handful of my sources books needed an update. Is there a patch list page or something that shows the changes? I am a weirdo and like to have both physical and digital copies of my books and curious on the changes.
The errata can be found on the Wizards of the Coast website. As for bug fixes, it's stuff like links being incorrectly formatted and other text/layout issues.
I'm not sure about the possibility of a detailed change log, that's outside of my knowledge
What if a user who has paid lots of money for these books, doesnt want these changes?
What about an opt out? so we dont have to click dismiss everytime just to read it?
Ive read the change log, Im not interested n the recent errata and modifications to the rules. Most of these text changes are beyond ridiculous.
Not here to start a fight, but forcing the errata changes is exactly what many people dont want.
Fixing hyperlinks, u.i., spelling/grammar is great. But forcing rules changes you dont want in your reference material !== good.
This has been discussed to death, but basically, it is legally required for dndbeyond to keep the digital sourcebooks update with the most recent errata, otherwise, they lose their right to Wotc's dnd intellectual property, and the entire site pretty much falls apart from their.
Thanks for the response. I figured this would have been discussed to death, I just didn't take the time too look. Guess we will get the whole "you can just homebrew" from the crowd making this game fall apart. Awesome, time to stop buying Wotc books, and use old conversions. shame because this product is well designed, good codebase, good u.i., good programmers, transparent dev cycle, I very much like the product. Seems that slippery slope really was slippery. Bravo people.
rant over: again, thanks for the reply, appreciate it.
When this books on my shelf don’t match the website… time for me to move on from dnd beyond. The combat tracker could’ve kept me here after all these years IF they had just listened to the feedback on monster tags a,b,c instead of 1,2,3. So long; and thanks for all the fish.

It's your money, you should do what you want with it. I do want to point out that the actual rules changes have been pretty rare and that for the book that does have a bunch of them (Monsters of the Multiverse) they are not forced on you. I don't know which text changes are ridiculous to you, but they are (apart from correcting language errors) mostly clarifications that don't change the rules as they were always intended to be, and recently a number of instances of cleaning up stuff that has no real mechanical impact. Again, you do you - but for anyone else reading this thread I think it's fair to provide a different perspective.

To be clear, you are the one homebrewing in this case. The errata is official and supercedes what it replaces.
If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
Hey All,
First time posting, and relatively new DM. I opened my DND Beyond app today and saw that a handful of my sources books needed an update. Is there a patch list page or something that shows the changes? I am a weirdo and like to have both physical and digital copies of my books and curious on the changes.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
If there are official errata for a sourcebook, they can be found on that book's page the Wizards' website (https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products).

It might be because of this (warning spoilers for new book that just came out):
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/120290-the-wild-beyond-the-witchlight-issues-and-support?comment=1
A few things appear in that book
(magic items for the most part)
that had appeared elsewhere, so DDB updated all prior appearances of such items with the WBtW stat.
Seems most likely reason. If you're curious exactly what got affected, the first post in that thread gives a run down of everything that got updated.
Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
So many books updated today. Any ideas what caused such broad changes?
Applying a slew of recent errata (some of which can be found here) as well as some general bug fixing.

Is there any plans or possibility of get the change log back for the updates to books on the app so people can see a breakdown of what's changing?

I'm glad to have the products kept up to date. Thank you.

My homebrew subclasses (full list here)
(Artificer) Swordmage | Glasswright | (Barbarian) Path of the Savage Embrace
(Bard) College of Dance | (Fighter) Warlord | Cannoneer
(Monk) Way of the Elements | (Ranger) Blade Dancer
(Rogue) DaggerMaster | Inquisitor | (Sorcerer) Riftwalker | Spellfist
(Warlock) The Swarm
Well that's pretty hyperbolic. How dare people play differently than you!
.... yeah, I thought i made that clear...
That wasn't the point. You have a nice day.
Does anyone know which changes were recently made to the PHB last night (or this morning)?
It should be noted here https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/rules-game-mechanics/8760-official-wizards-of-the-coast-errata soon if there was an update.

most of the time, fixes to systems or bug fixes inadvertently require a supplement update on the back end:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/d-d-beyond-feedback/155201-updates-to-phb-and-basic-rules?comment=5
So there's no content change at all, simply an update that lets a bug fix get handled properly.
