I am fairly new to DnD5e & dndbeyond. As a player I've played about two dozen vtt rpg one-shots and some mini-campaigns (approx. for 9 months) and as a dm I've run DoSI and am halfway through running CotN in a vtt rpg (approx. 5 months).
I want to see how campaigns work in dndbeyond but am having difficulty in finding a comprehensive step-by-step A-Z text/image or video guide that explains everything that dndbeyond can do regarding campaigns. If there's one on the site please link it for me because I'm confused by the dndbeyond search engine results and can't find an advanced search. For example, in searching I tried to narrow "create campaign" to just forums and it just bounced me back to "All" results.
Essentially I am looking for a guide (text/image &/or video) that shows all features of how dndbeyond campaigns work, how they are set up, and actual video gameplay examples that show all this.
The Campaign 'feature' is nothing more than four text boxes.
When you create a Campaign, you fill out the CAMPAIGN NAME and DESCRIPTION text box.
Once the campaign has been created,
1) you can place DM Notes that are private to your players and are of use to you and add public DM Notes.
2) You can have your players who use DDB add their characters to your campaign. It does not serve much because you have a quick link to those characters for your reference.
3) You can enable and disable content sharing with your players who have joined the campaign. This is the content you bought on DDB, allowing players access to those items, useful for character creation for the content beyond the Basic Rules. It's not all-or-nothing. You can limit product items you do or do not want to share.
That's pretty much the Campaign Page in a nutshell.
I should point out that the Campaigns name and assigned character can be used in the Encounter Builder Tool, where you can organize if you have more than one campaign with which the encounter is associated.
Do I do the same thing if sharing my homebrewed items?
That is correct since there is no option to disable the homebrew sharing.
In my DDB campaign, I can assign homebrew items to a players character. I've also seen people in my campaign access my homebrew races/species when they've created characters.

So it's automatically shared, correct? Just making sure I'm following you.
Homebrew is automatically shared. I just went through the Content Sharing menu, and there is no option to disable that specific type of content.
Ok thank you for your help!
