So a conversation about Witch Bolt on EN World prompted me to come here to look at the rules but it's not there. I can't think of why not - I wondered if only basic rules are here but there's other non-basic rules spells (not to mention lots of other stuff. What is missing any why?
Filcat is correct - during the beta test of D&D Beyond, we'll only be including content that is freely available from Wizards of the Coast, including the D&D 5th edition SRD , D&D 5th edition Basic Rules, Elemental Evil Companion and potentially others. The beta will not include additional content from a Commercially Released Book, Module or Supplement.
All of the remaining published content from the PHB, DMG, MM and other D&D 5th edition books will be added to D&D Beyond for product release - the cost for accessing this material has not yet been announced.
Okay, that being said what is missing? I am running a roll20 campaign using giants, and I own the PHB. Are there things missing that are in the players handbook? I'm planning on looking through myself, but I just want to know what kind of options I am going to give my players. I have them on the beta for beyond right now perusing options.
As mentioned, it's only the D&D 5th edition SRD , D&D 5th edition Basic Rules, and Elemental Evil Companion - I'd recommend looking at those links and cross referencing to your PHB. Not every spell in the PHB is listed on Beyond at the moment. Those missing will be available for those that purchase the PHB (or have access via a DM's campaign) after Beyond has the full release in Summer.

"Not every spell in the PHB is listed on Beyond at the moment" Thats exactly what I wanted to know. Saved me some time and i'll convince the few who have not to pick up the PHB. I wanted to ask because I'm not familiar with most of the product released as well as the basic rules/srd vs phb.

Click the SRD link - it explains what the SRD is, and how it differs from the PHB.
