D&D 5e Community Contributed Character Sheet

I'm currently running a campaign for a group of novice D&D players. All of them have trouble manuevering through the standard Roll20 5e Character Sheet, and I have recently discovered that you can change the character sheet in the game settings of any given game. The "Community Contributed" sheet seemed to be the most User-Friendly, since the most important stuff is more compartmentalized. By that I mean the most important sections of a sheet (skills, inventory, attacks/weapons, etc) all have their own distinct tab that you can switch between instead of having all of them plastered on the same page. The extra sections in each tab (like custom skills) can easily be looked over and ignored since the standard stuff is at the top of each tab anyways. My issue arises when I check the inventory, weapons, and class tabs primarily (potentially others that I didn't check or don't quite recall exactly). None  of the stats were copied over when I switched the character sheet. They were just, blank. So the information about weapons, class/race/background features, spells, and inventory just, vanished without a trace.  When I change back to the standard Roll20 character sheet, however, this information returns. These players are casual, so they aren't studying their character sheets or D&D in general on the regular, and I'm not expecting them to really commit anything about their character to memory. But because of this, I want to make sure that the character sheet isn't cluttered like the standard sheet kind of is, so they can quickly refresh their memory and keep the flow of the game moving, and the most User-Friendly-looking sheet simply doesn't move some vital information over.  Can anyone explain why this information isn't porting over correctly? Additionally, can anyone vouch for the other 5e Character Sheets like "Shaped" or "Scrolls"?

Each character sheet is designed differently with different names for each item etc.  The only way to port information from one character sheet type to the other is to do so manually.  Duplicate your campaign, in the duplicate change the character sheet to the new one.  Open both campaigns, place them side by side, duplicate information as desired.  Personally, I suggest a different solution. Macro buttons. My players have all their saves, skills, attacks, etc in macro buttons. They only reference the sheet infrequently.  If you need help setting up those macros I can walk you through the process.
