How do you handle having 2 spell caster classes and dealing with spells per day and spells known? I'm not sure how to do that on the character sheet.
Assuming you are talking about dnd 5e, I just added the spell blocks in my character sheet's spellbook. I excluded the spells that I don't know, even if they are in my class's spell list. Hope this helps!
I've got no experience with this character sheet, but I'm sure that if you join our Discord server someone in the community will be able to help you ^^
Suggestions: ‘After the Session -> Journal Entry’ should be a BIG button for players to notice, so they enter journal entries for the session. There should be a way for players to visit sessions as well, and ‘Journal Entry’ should be a BIG button specific to that session (i.e., already auto-attach Journal Entry to that session). The Player view of session also shows all the journal entries. Ideally, other entries could be moved (converted) to Journal Entries for a session.
Hi! Feel free to suggest that as a feature using the form that you'll find here ("Do you need help?" link in the footer). You'll have to create a separate account for that because the feature request/bug tracker is a third-party service.
Some other help documents refer to the "Message Center" so players and the storyteller can send private messages, but I can't seem to find the icon for the Message Center in the place that is shown in those articles. Was this feature removed? And if so, how do we send private messages between people in a campaign? Thanks!
Hi! This feature was removed (it caused errors) and there's no replacement as of yet. Where did you find mentions to the Message Center? I hunted them down to update the guides but I might have missed some.
Looks like "Introduction to Heroes" here has it: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/WorldAnvilCodex/a/introduction-to-heroes Also, in the screenshot on this page under "Let's Play", you can see a mail icon, which implies you can do messaging, though there's no mention of it in the actual article.
I've noticed after creating a hero when you go to view the Hero's profile, it doesn't list the species field even though that was filled out. Is that something that has to be toggled on/off somehow?
There's no toggle as far as I know, so it should appear in either the basic or extended profile. Are you sure you saved the profile after adding the species?
Bonjour, je rencontre un problème: mon MJ s'est crée un monde sur World Anvil, et on doit ajouter nos personnages à ce monde. J'ai crée ma fiche personnage, mais impossible de trouver comment transférer ma fiche perso à son monde à lui ? Merci pour votre aide
Hello, I'm having a problem: my GM has created a world for himself on World Anvil, and we need to add our characters to this world. I created my character file, but can't find how to transfer my personal file to his world? Thanks for your help
Hi WA Team! How can I create a PC and assign it to one of my players? When I click on the "Transfer Ownership" button, I can't see the players I've invited using the link on the Protagonists page... Do they have to create a dummy PC first and then I'll be bale to assign the PC I've created for them? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi! Typing in their WA username in the "Receiver's username" should transfer the character to their account. Just make sure to type it correctly!
Hi all - I've just created a world and campaign, and gathering my players into it. One of the things I also did is set my world to have a given date (call it 1000 AW). One of my players would like to start writing journal entries, but date them a couple years prior to the date set for the campaign/world (e.g. 993 AW he wants a journal entry). How can that person do this, or how can I adjust things on my end as the world creator to allow them to do this?
You don't need to do anything! The journal editor has a date field at the bottom, and it's freeform. If they click the small "Advanced" button, they can set the day, month, and year individually so that they appear ordered by date. Hope this helps!
Hey was wondering how to edit the History tab, all it says when clicked on is "The major events and journals in (PC Name) history, from the beginning to today", was wondering how I could add those events for backstory purposes.
The History tab is automatically populated every time you publish an "achievement / life event" type of post in your character's stream.
How do you delete Heroes after you've created them? Or is that not an option?
If you edit their profile, you'll see a "Delete character" panel at the bottom of the right column. This should work, let me know if it doesn't!
Out of curiosity does the GM have edit access to the character sheets? What about the journal entries, etc? Do you see those only on the character page or do the public posts show up on the Campaign somewhere? (Brand new to WA)
Hi! The GM has edit access to the character sheets but not to the journal entries. The journal entries are only accessible through the character's profile. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
How do I delete a hero? I was just playing around with it to see what the players see, and now that I'm done, I want to delete the hero from my world. I expelled them, but they still show up in the world, and I can't delete them from the dashboard.
Hi! You can activate them from the left sidebar toggle (at the top). Then go to the settings -> edit profile and find the "Delete character" box in the bottom right. Hope this helps!
Can I somehow edit posts my character makes in the STREAM section of its profile page?
I'm afraid not! You can, however, delete them or make them private if you spotted an error after posting them.
Aw, too bad, maybe this could be a feature to be added? I use them to write session summaries as a diary for my character. I just wanted to fix typos.
Features can be requested here: [url]https://www.worldanvil.com/community/voting/. You'll need 300 anvil coins to submit it!
Can anyone help me understand the difference between journals and memories? I only see journals mentioned in the workflow.
Hi! Journals can be written by characters, usually to summarize the latest session, but you can use them for whatever you want. Memories are tied to specific articles, so you'll see them when you browse the campaign world in presentation mode.

How do I disable Heroes? Or how to I access all of my original data? All of my saved data disappeared when I changed to Heoeos. I would really like it back!
Hi! Can you please clarify? What do you mean by "changed to Heroes"? And which data are you referring to? Heroes is just one feature of World Anvil, so you should be able to access everything for the left sidebar. Thanks!

Some time after I joined, the HERO button appeared. Being curious, I clicked it, explored it, and clicked back to the original database. One day while I was looking at the HEROs section, I no longer had the ability to click back to the original database, which is where all of the articles, characters, and et cetera that I had created are residing. If there is a link in to left sidebar that I am overlooking, please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

Left side bar, Settings, Account Details ( https://www.worldanvil.com/dashboard/user/account ), scroll down to DETAILS. YOu probably enabled the HERO only mode and the other features are disabled here. Click those bars ("World building features" etc) to reenable them.
