A new player forgot their iPad and used mine to create their character using mine today.
I thought it would be a simple matter to move the character into the campaign as an assigned character so that they could assume 'ownership' of the character once they logged in using their account. Trouble is, I'm a idiot and can't figure out how to make this happen. There is probably something simple that I'm missing, but I'm stuck.
How? If I go to the end of the character sheet creation it has the option of starting a campaign. There is not an option of joining an existing campaign.
If I go to 'My Capaigns' there is not an option for moving one of "my" characters (I'm the DM) into the campaign as unassigned.
Maybe I just need to log in via a proper computer and not my tablet? IDK, still stuck and not sure I'm explaining this precisely.
On the campaign page, click on the “copy link” button just under the invite link. Paste this into a browser tab and hit enter. You’ll be given the choice of creating a character or adding an existing one. Add the character in question to the campaign. Then you can nun assign it and someone else can pick it up.
Hi everyone, DM trying to make the switch here.

Can anyone help me out? Thank you!
Use the invite link.

Sorry, I thought my short answer would be enough. ArwensDaughter explained where to find and how to use the link.
Thank you! That did it. I knew there must be something easy that I was missing.
I think my problem was that I'd previously mostly sent links to join to others. I didn't really understand what it looked like from the other end.
Thank you so much for posting this question, and for those who answered... the same problem was driving me batty!
Not all my characters are showing up as available to add to an existing campaign. Any ideas on why this would be?
All characters that aren't already in a campaign should be available to join with the link.
Thanks for help
Thank You!
Thank you for your time and please have a very pleasant day.
its 2025 and this just helped me. thanks so much. I had a whole homebrew character i DID NOT want to remake.
