Isn't that fairly inconvenient, not having Xanathar's included in the build/random features. I love running random chars and think if I pay the money for Xanathar I should get the benefit?
I'm not entirely clear if you already have Xanathar's or if you are considering it, also if you do have it, do you just have the compendium only content? (In the store do you see options to buy colleges with an add to cart instead of view details?) If you haven't purchased the whole book, or at least the options for each of the bard colleges you want to use, you won't see the option in the builder.
I just did some tests to check if I was getting the colleges from Xanathar for Bards. Whether I use Standard, Quick Build or Randomize to make a first level, if I view the character sheet and choose "manage level" in the drop down menu, when I select level 3 or higher I do see the Xanathar's options (swords, glamour, etc.) When I use the Randomize creator and set level 3 or higher for a bard, it automatically chooses, and on my first try with the randomize option I got the college of swords. Even when the randomize auto assigned the college, I can still go to the class page of the generator and change it to something else (including Xanathar options).
If you have the complete Xanathar's and you aren''t getting those options, it's probably worth contacting support staff to troubleshoot. Hope this helps.
Happy to help! I think Xanathar is my favorite source after the main 3, I would definitely recommend it if you are going to purchase another source book. I use the subclasses, feats and the spells from it all the time.

I have Volo's, Players handbook and Xanathar's in my sources.
When i create a new character, i see Volo but not Xanathars. Can someone tell me why, I want to be able to use the Colleges within it
And why don't i see Xana or Volo when i do a quick or Random create?
Quick build and random only use the PHB.
not sure why Xanathar’s isn’t showing in the builder can you access it in the compendium?

Yeah i can open it in the compendium. Could be because they don't take affect until later level for Xanathars?

Level1, just starting
Bards don't choose their college until level 3, so it won't show up in the builder until you level up to level 3.
