How can I add Esper Genesis Core Manual to my existing game

I was wondering how I could add the  Esper Genesis Core Manual to my existing 5e game?  I would like to add the races, powers, and other core rules to my campaign.
If you've bought the manual from the roll 20 marketplace you should be able to see it in your game settings and then you pick it from the compendium settings drop down. Then everything should be in your compendium tab in your game the "i" icon.
What I think  you are asking is if you can add the Esper Genesis Core Manual to an existing 5e based game that isn't an actual Esper Genesis game. Is that right? If so, I have bad news. I just bought the book while crossing my fingers to see if I could add it to my genre mixing D&D game. When I went to my compendium settings, the book did not appear. So I am going to assume  that the answer is no for now and forever. Sucks because they operate on the same rule set, so why can't I have both settings in the same game?
" Full 5E compatibility " and " easily integrated into any 5E setting " the Roll20 EG core manual advert promised. So, I bought the Esper Genesis compendiums expecting just that, to add to my running D&D 5E campaign. Imagine my disappointment. For now, I've solved this problem by either picking the 'D&D 5th Edition' or 'Esper Genesis' system under 'Compendium Settings'. After you're done, switch settings back to whichever compendium you prefer during actual game play. It's a hassle, but this seems to me the best way to import items and monsters from either compendium. This is certainly not what I'd expected after reading the advert...
Thank you!! I have been using the  transmogrifier to place some of the things in my D&D campaign.
Another issue is that you can't view the Threat Database as a compendium OUTSIDE a game, because it seems you need the core rulebook to even view the monsters in the game. The implementation of this is a mess.
Hopefully they will fix it.
