Ability to turn off sharing SOME of the compendium content with players (monster manual for example)

It would be AMAZING to be able to turn off some of the compendium you do not wish to share with players. For example as a GM I want to be able to use the Monster Manual in game, but it really stinks that my players can also access the same content the majority of the time to just look up a monster (I know, they are already on the computer, and they can just go find it somewhere else).

+1. I had made this suggestion quite awhile ago but it did not gain any traction and was closed. Also, now that shared compendiums are available out of game for players, they don't need to enter the game. But, if you trust your players not to meta game, it is moot.

+1 Agreed. Monster Manual does not need to be shared with Players, nor various sections in other books that are intended for the GM only. At some point, access to the information is somewhat moot, as the Players have a great deal memorized after many years of D&D, and the solution is to change-up some stats and features.  That only gets you so far though, without completely changing the monster to something unrecognizable.

It would be nice to be able to limit races, classes and some information that you don't want in your game from the compendium. 

Agreed! This would be especially useful for those of us who have purchased a third party book such as Kobold Press' Deep Magic, want access to it in the compendium for the sake of putting unusual spells and magic items in the game world, but don't want those extra spells mucking up the charactermancer for the players. Edit: Warlord, I beleive the Suggestion is requesting a finer degree of control than what is currently available. Right now, if Compendium Sharing is turned on, the GM can choose which sources to include or exclude from the compendium for both the players and the GM . The Suggestion is that the GM should be able to share the compendium with players, choose which sources are available to players in-game, and, separately, which sources are available to the GM in-game.

All wonderful points and hope this can get the votes to stick around and get some more eyes on it and an eventual change!

I did my own test if you click on the compendium it will change it to red and will eliminate all the option from that book from the game. However I eliminate the monster Manual, DM guide, and other source book. and still you will have the problem that many monsters are on the SRD, which it cannot be eliminated. Now unless I don't understand what you want, you can eliminate the source book from the view of your players by select the book you want to eliminate it will change from green to red.

I think Kilter and Sarah hit it on the head
