I purchased the Monsters section of Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I thought that when I navigated to that section on the Sourcebook table of contents, that one section would be accessible. However, I just go back to the purchase page for the entire book. When I scroll down to that section it does say I already own the content. How do I access that content in one location?
On the page for Skabatha Nightshade, under "Skabatha's Appearance" there is a missing link to the flying rocking horse. The sentence is "Skabatha roams Thither on her [Tooltip Not Found] (see chapter 3 for its stat block), which creaks horribly as it moves."
Also, the same sentence refers the reader to Chapter 3 (link directs to "Thither"), and the rocking horse is nowhere to be found. After scrolling to the bottom of the page, I hit the "Next Chapter" button in the Navigation pane (top left). This took me to Loomlurch, where I found the Flying Rocking Horse. HOWEVER, this is still in chapter 3. This is not organized in a clear way for readers looking for it. Could the two pages be combined? Or could the Next Chapter "button" in the navigation pane be replaced with a "Next Section" on this page? Or... maybe this is the best idea: Replace the text and hyperlink currently saying "Chapter 3" and pointing to Thither with one that says "Chapter 3 - Loomlurch" and point to Loomlurch.

Thanks for the feedback - I updated the description to properly reflect the tooltip and to also point toward Loomlurch instead of the general Thither chapter as you rightly mentioned, that's more likely where the link would be relevant.
Has this been taken out of the marketplace, for good? I have been slowly getting the books I have hard copies of, online for Beyond... and this was recently removed from my cart, before I could purchase it?
If it is gone, are the options no longer available to use?

I tried to help a player create a Fairy Druid for WBtW. Regardless of what we did, we could not remove the Legacy Druidcraft spell. We had legacy and 2014 content unchecked, but every time we selected the fairy origin, it used the Legacy version. I believe it is because the Druidcraft spell in MotM links to the 2014 Basic rules. Does anyone know of a workaround to fix this?

You can make a homebrew copy of the species and give it the new version of the spell.
However, there are no meaningful changes to that particular spell in the 2024 version, so it's probably not a big deal in practice.
After reading the Feylost background in the book I noticed something odd when trying to create a character that neither the fey mark or feywild visitor are present at all? I can see it in the compendium (https://www.dndbeyond.com/backgrounds/215754-feylost) but nowhere on the character sheet or during character creation?

Make sure "2014 Expanded Rules" is checked in the Sources section of the Home tab of the character builder.
If that's not the issue, then it sounds like you may not actually own the book, but only have access to it through content sharing, in which case you can only use character options from it on a character that's actually in the campaign where it's being shared.
Hey thanks for such a quick response, I indeed have 2014 expanded checks, I think you are right about the content sharing, I can't figure out what campaign is currently sharing it as i can see most of the content.
Edit I have access to the Feylost Background and add it to my character, but those features of the background seem to still just be absent.
Ok so after checking I am in the campaign with the witchlight content with that character, I can select Feylost as a Background but those features are not present.

It's a game of make believe my friend, it's all fluff. Thanks for all you added to the conversation though. Without that fluff, feylost has a single bullet point. The fluff is what makes the background even slightly interesting roleplay wise and it's completely absent unless you randomly decide to go into the compendium directly.

You can go to the monsters listing section and filter by Source: Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Purchasing individual options only grants access to the listings, not the content as it's displayed within the book.

Hey, I really appreciate that. I figured that was the only way but I wasn't sure if I was missing something.

What features, specifically?

They're confusing Fey Mark and Feywild Visitor, 2 background fluff pieces, for actual features that will affect gameplay.
DM, player & homebrewer(Current homebrew project is an unofficial conversion of SBURB/SGRUB from Homestuck into DND 5e)
Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
