Errata is not reflected in the Compendium

1558707205

Edited 1558707219
Errata was released in November for the MM, PHB and DM but the Roll20 Compendium is not reflecting the updates, when can we expect the changes to be reflected?

Can you give specific examples? If the errata was released for the PHB, but not incorporated into the SRD, the the Compendium portions which come from the SRD cannot be changed. They are controlled by the license of that document. If however, it is info taken from the PHB (as purchased in the Marketplace), it should be reported. In other words, if you have not purchased the MM or PHB, your info comes from the latest published version of the SRD. If you have purchased those items, they should match the released errata. The above is my understanding of the situation, and not an official Roll20 statement
To add to keith's post, I've just checked a few of the Errata items for PHB, including couple with the [new] label and they are all reflected in the PHB compendium.   EDIT: So if there are missed errata items, list of examples would be helpful.

Hi Arthur! We did a sweep for updated errata on the Compendium some months ago, so anything missing would be great to know. If you find it, please post it in our WOTC Bug Megathread -&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5392197/wizards-of-the-coast-bug-report-megathread" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5392197/wizards-of-the-coast-bug-report-megathread</a>
Thanks for the quick replies! I have not checked the SRD, but it seems a significant amount of the errata, even the older ones form the PHB, aren't reflected from what I see. Here are some key examples, I am happy to do a full audit if it helps, I have time and I live and breathe the compendium for my games ^_^ DMG Only case I found was new errata&nbsp; <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Rod%20of%20Lordly%20Might#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Rod%20of%20Lordly%20Might#content</a> &nbsp;-&nbsp;The following text is appended to the sentence on button 1: “(you choose the type of sword).” PHB&nbsp; A lot of this isn't reflected in the compendium including older changes: I don't see any class descriptions updated for the latest round, an easy litmus is Spell Slots changing from "your spells" to "your [class] spells". It looks like the revisions to Ranger weren't part of the SRD to begin with though as the mentioned sections aren't in the compendium that I see <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/The%20Environment#h-Darkvision" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/The%20Environment#h-Darkvision</a> &nbsp;- older change - The second sentence of this subsection now reads, “Within a specified range, a creature with darkvision can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light, so areas of darkness are only lightly obscured as far as that creature is concerned.” <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#toc_44" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#toc_44</a> &nbsp;- Shoving and other parts of this section aren't reflecting errata <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Acid%20Splash#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Acid%20Splash#content</a> &nbsp;- I don't see any of the spells reflecting errata, such as Acid Splash and Call Lightning. <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Moonbeam#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Moonbeam#content</a> &nbsp;- Older errata like for Moonbeam is also not reflected - The words “up to” now appear in “move the beam up to 60 feet in any direction.” <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Brown%20Bear#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Brown%20Bear#content</a> &nbsp;- Both PHB and MM errata correct brown bear to +6 attack, and black bear to +4 MM I don't see newer errata reflected but the older errata is in place so far as I see, examples: <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Efreeti#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Efreeti#content</a> &nbsp;-&nbsp;Innate Spellcasting: “3/day” changed to “3/day each.” <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Harpy#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Harpy#content</a> &nbsp;- reflects the older errata but has a typo, "the [target] must move on its turn toward the harpy by the most direct route" <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Purple%20Worm#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Purple%20Worm#content</a> &nbsp;- +14 to hit instead of +9

I believe you are looking at SRD info, not PHB info. I chose a couple at random, and Compendium Info pulled when I am logged in (using the PHB) is different from when I am logged out (SRD only).&nbsp; Example: Moonbeam. The PHB entry shows the "up to" errata. The SRD ( latest released by Wizards ) does not. (Unless you have a more up-to-date link—that has tripped me up before.) The Errata does not update the SRD, which is covered by its own license.
I can also confirm what keith said - on top of that DMG compendium doesn't exist in Roll20 which further supports the theory that you are looking at SRD.&nbsp; I also replied to you on the WotC bug megathread to say as much.
