Compendium Always Available

1552196698

Edited 1552196718
I searched and didn't see any previous suggestions which are proposing what I want to see. I would appreciate if my full compendium were available to me, in any game I am in, hosted by any user of any kind. Only me, with the same functionality as in games I create - drag & drop onto my character sheet, reference in game, etc. No other players or the game creator should have access, and if a character sheet loses me as an owner/editor then the features unique to my compendium should be hidden (not removed in case I regain owner/editor to the character). I can't be the only user to have a pro subscription and who owns several products which add to our compendiums, which they'd like to reference while playing in another's campaign.

Hi, Curtis. The way the compendium interacts with other people's games is that, if you own a compendium expansion, it shows up in any game that you're in. If you're a player in someone else's game, you will always have access to the expansions you bought. If that's not happening for you, please let me know because that would make this a bug we'd need to look at. The second half of your suggestion is a little more difficult, and I'm not sure if you're suggesting it because you want to protect Roll20's paid content, or if you have another reason for suggesting it. Currently, if you drag something in from your compendium onto your sheet and then stop being the editor of that sheet, the data is already there and will remain there, no matter how it got there or whose compendium it came from. To change that would require a lot of rewriting of the how sheets work, and I'm not sure there'd be a benefit to users in doing so. Can you explain why you're interested in that kind of functionality?
Hi Stephanie. On the second half, yes it was primarily to protect Roll20's property. Ultimately - if you guys don't care, I won't care. I will do some further testing on the first item, but the few items I was looking for as a player the other night did not show up for me and I had to resort to Google so I just thought that was normal behavior - not a huge deal, but I will file a bug if I can confirm the behavior.

Thanks, Curtis! May I close this suggestion, since the functionality exists that you're looking for (or is supposed to exist!)
Sure, absolutely.
