Based on the changelog, it just said that it’ll only be marking stuff with Legacy tags for the most part with spells, besides the smite and befuddlement case. But magic items will be updated. I think. It might be inaccurate or not up to date or something, I spent 5 minutes on this.
You're missing the part where it says, for example, that if you have healing word prepared that it will be replaced with the new version.
You can also look at the "What if I want to use 2014 spells and magic items" section that says "Homebrew it."
Davyd post where he mentions that anything in both the 5.0 and 5.5 will be updated to the 5.5 Davyd post where he mentions current spells/items will not be possible to select when attempting to homebrew-copy.
Your character has Healing Word prepared and you want to cast the spell. When you click on the spell on your character sheet, you will see the new version of Healing Word. However, you can still find the old version of Healing Word in your copy of the Basic Rules and the 2014 Player’s Handbook in the compendium.
And
WHAT IF I WANT TO USE THE 2014 VERSION OF A SPELL OR MAGIC ITEM?
If you wish to use the old version of a magic item or spell that has been replaced by its 2024 counterpart, you will need to create a homebrew copy of it and enable homebrew content on your character sheet. Then, you can add it to your character sheet.
It is not possible to create homebrew versions of mundane equipment. However, the only significant change to weapons is the addition of mastery properties. You will still need the appropriate feat or class feature to utilize a weapon’s mastery property. Mundane armor will not be affected by changes in the D&D Beyond toolset.
Humans can only live for like 2-6 minutes, but breathing resets the timer.
I mean, in a very specific way, yes, but also no.

Yo, I’m Himy, He/Him. I enjoy reading books, understanding why and how things work, anime/manga, video games and obviously, TTRPGS. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I like to think Im close. I’m good at trivia, history and science
I struggle with empathy. If you’re not sure what I mean by that, it basically means it’s hard for me to understand the mental state of others and respond with the right emotions

Hmm, Anyone got ideas for a Headcanon for Elves? Basically this world I'm making al races came to existence after a animal ate a Fruit of Wisdom and it kinda insta-evolved them. Here's what I go so far. Humans - Apes Dwarves - Moles Elves - Owls.
So spend your hours on What you think I've done wrong I know I'm in your mind I've been here way too long I want to spend my life With those who've done me right Your heart is frozen over I'm a four-leaf clover

I'm not sure. I spent all night making a character for The Autumn Country and accidentally made an entire town.
The mayor is a weird little fox guy, but I'm not sure he's spooky enough.
