Unable to share Compendium(s)

Hi everyone and thanks to the staff for setting up this great platform! This is my first post, I have a problem with compendiums and I have no idea what is going wrong. I bought three books from the marketplace: 1) Guildmaster's guide to Ravnica 2) Monster Manual and 4) Player's Handbook. I have a single game with 6 other players, of which I am both Creator and GM and have the premium account: I can see the Compendiums in game, but it seems I just cannot share them and I don't know why. Going to the game settings and setting "YES" on the share compendium option doesn't change anything, in fact I can see the 5 slots but all empty, and I can't click on them. I thought about first saving the "YES" option even without games shown, but the "save" button at the end of the page doesn't work for me, I tried with Firefox and it's the same (I can see it links to a "javascript:void(0);", don't know if that's meant to be). I also tried to look online if I was getting something wrong, but it doesn't seem the case, I hope you can shed some lights. Thank you in advance!

I'm having a similar issue myself.  I purchased the PHB, MM and Curse of Strahd module.  When I click the yes radio button next to  'Share my compendium' and save, it reverts back to no.   Edit:  I think I solved my issue.  I had created a second game, after purchasing the Curse of Strahd module and I think the sharing slots were being used up by my initial game.  I made sure to delete the original game and remove it from the sharing section and I think I'm good.  Do you have any other games that might be taking up your sharing slots?

I don't have any other games, I see the 5 empty slots...
Same issue, I bought the PHB and can't share it with players, the button to save game sharing options does nothing.

Compendium sharing is available to english accounts only . Go to profile settings > language: english > save Go to Game settings > Share compendium > save

Good find federico! Does the setting persist if you later return your language setting to your native language, or does it need to remain English?

The setting persists if you switch back to your native language but keep in mind you have to set english language anytime you change game settings.

Hey folks -&nbsp; Apologies for the trouble here! Our intention is definitely to have this feature working across all language preferences, not just English. As such, we now have a ticket going with the dev team to get this fixed. We'll keep you posted once we have additional updates to share on progress. Thanks for pointing this out everyone!

Thanks to you Federico! For now I switched to English, i see that also more features were lacking in the italian versione: for example I could not see the options to change the default settings of the character sheet, so I was also convinced that the auto-advantage on the rolls could only be removed in game by hand. I hope you fix it soon, but for now this should do :)
