How do I add D&D 2024 spells , races and classes to prexisiting charchter sheets

Hi, It looks like the 2024 content has released today and I'm unable to access the spells in pre existing games, or create a character sheet using the 2024 material. Im seeing notices that its available yet have no access.

You need to Add the 2024 character sheet to your game under settings, which only works if you've updated that game to Jumpgate. You can't have any 2024 content on a 2014 paper character sheet, it forces you into the new UI that looks like D&D Beyond's sheet. Alternately you can search the info within the compendium and copy paste into your existing sheets manually :)

I can't see the PHB 2024 content in my pre-existing games even if I "add" the new 2024 Character sheets.  Only way I can even see the PHB 2024 compendium is if I create a new game or modify an existing game and change the default character sheet to 2024 (which breaks everything).  I also checked under Shared Content to set the compendium but there's only 1 option for D&D - no split. UPDATE:  Turns out if it's an existing game with 2014 sheets are the default, you need to have Beta Features turned ON in the settings to be able to see the PHP 2024 compendium.  Shout out to @keithcurtis for the assist.

so, - only available using jumpgate,  -cant be used on 2014 sheets - have to move all my games to jumpgate for players to even have access to the 2024 info in the journal, - players have to make all new sheets may i be the devils advocate and be the crazy person in the room and ask the question, why not just add the content the same way as every other piece of supplemental material?  I can imagine it would be easier than what ever this roll out fiasco has been.. but i could just be wrong and crazy and (possessed by the devil)lol

Probably because D&D 2024 (or 5.5, or 5.24, or whatever it's designated as) is somewhere between a supplement and a new version, with too many changes to be accounted for in the old D&D 2014 sheet's format, which was already falling a bit short in some areas. Also, I think the new design is intended to look and feel like a D&DBeyond style of sheet because the current sheet is too "old fashioned". (I disagree, but I like that  the old sheet looks like the one supplied in the hard-copy player's handbook.)
