Compendium Sharing - Allowing Access to Specific Sections of PHB

How’s it going? I purchased the Roll20 5e Player’s Handbook and shared it out with my party (share compendium). I was wondering if there was a way to limit which sections players can see. For instance, is there a way to prevent players from having access to the “Monsters” section of the shared PHB? I have a player with “wandering eyes”. Thanks for your help!

This isn't possible, but Roll20 is working on a related feature, the ability to selectively choose which compendiums to show, such as hiding Eberron-compendium in a Forgotten Realms game.

There are so many online sources, particularly for SRD data, that trying to keep players from peeking at statblocks is probably a lost cause.

As said. If a player wants to look at a stat block, they will find it on the internet. If you think a player is cheating, create a trap by modifying the monster and see if they will respond to it. If they do not stop after being confronted. Tell them to stop or they can leave. It isn't fun if players cheat.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, there’s a tremendous amount of online resources for sure. I just went with renaming monsters so it was harder to look them up ;)
