How do I access Monster Manuals on the compendium?

I have been given a number of books on R20 and can not seem to figure out how to add them to the compendium. can someone please help me understand how? I have tried "Game addons" but it doesn't show my game manuals. Please help. I'm struggling to figure this out.

If you are the owner of a book that has compendium content, like the Monster Manual, there are two main ways to access it. You can access it out of game by going to the compendium page (link is under Tools at the top of the page) and choosing the game system you want access to. This will take you to a page that has the books broken out for reading, or a universal search bar. To access it inside a game, make sure you are on a game that has chosen the appropriate compendium (I'm guessing D&D 5e in your case). If you create a game with the official sheet, this will be chosen automatically. In the game, you will have a compendium tab (right hand side, marked with an "i" icon). Clicking on that will let you search for monsters, spells, rules and much more. If an item has drag and drop capability, you can use it there. Drag a monster onto the table top, a spell or equipment onto a character sheet, etc. If you drag a rules page onto the tabletop, it will become a handout. More info can be found here , in the Help Center.

Figured it out. >Go to Game page (Not in game session) >Select Game Settings >Select Compendium Settings >Choose preferred compendium of module >Select which Modules to access >Save  Compendium Settings >Save game settings. This was a Cluster----. Why is the Wiki so unbearable unhelpful? Can R20 Staff please use some Plainspeak when writing the damn thing? Like I work on 1 Braincell here.

I figured out how, but your advice was far off the mark.

If you are using the official sheet, you should not have to do any of those steps. They will happen automatically. You only have to specify if using a community sheet. The official sheet is chosen by default if you create a game with a Roll20-produced module,

So I can help people better in the future, what should have been sated differently? It would have been simpler to say: "Hey, be sure to check your in game setting options as additional Compendium settings can be found there" But thank's for assisting where you could. I do appreciate the support

:) Thanks.  Sometimes you answer too little and sometimes too much. It's hard to read exactly where the problem lies and how much of an answer someone needs.
