Filter owned and unowned content

I was going through my monster list to find a random monster for an encounter that I hadn't planned and when looking through the list I ran into the issue of not actually being able to view a majority of them beyond just their name and CR. Looking at magic items it looks like this is also a thing. I think it'd be really cool if there was a check box that allowed us to hide/show content we own and don't own. I realize that right now you can do a filter for the source of the content, but when say, I own the monsters from 7 different books, it gets tedious and is time consuming to add all of them to the filter for a quick search.

  You can just select the sources you own in the "Source" filter.

  While that does work, as I mentioned in the post, it can be tedious when one owns over half the sources. I did think of that though, which is why I did mention that in the post.

  Wow, I'm sorry. I really don't see how I overlooked that.

  Another thing, if you have purchased one single magic item from a source you wouldn't want to see the others if trying to pick something random.

  A page that would give you an overview of what you own/don't own or have unlocked through content sharing would be nice. It could look something like this.

   

  Player's Handbook - Owned

  DM's Guide - Owned

  Volo's Guide to Monsters - Partially owned/Specific Content unlocked

  Mordenkainen's Tomb of Foes - Content sharing (xxx's campaign)

   

  This would allow people to have an overview of what things they have access to from what placed and would make the content sharing process much more transparent.

  I have the same feedback! It is quite tedious to filter content book by book. It would be very helpful if we could filter for content as 'owned' and 'locked' and would make the online tools much more user-friendly.

  While I can Just select all the ones that I own, doing this takes me ages, for I own all of the source books, Tomb of Annihilation and Tales from the yawning portal. A  "sourcebooks" filter under source would do the job though.

  The search function right now also surfaces campaign spoilers. If I search for "vampire" it shows me content from a campaign I might be a player in down the road that I didn't know had vampires.

  Yeah, a "My Content" option that appears as one of the Source Category options might be nice.

  It also might be nice if the source selections were remembered as the default (at least for the session) so I don't have to re-select it every time I navigate to any of the search screens.  If I've picked it for Spells, then I most likely want it for Monsters or for anything else I'm searching (again, at least during the session).

  Absolutely necessary feature. I own most sourcebooks but I prefer to homebrew my campaign. It's a pain to have to figure out what I can use and can't use in the encounter builder when half of the monsters are from adventure books.

  And I'd imagin that this wouldn't be so hard to implement. I mean they allready filter for every monster in the page if I own it or not. So they just have to hide those, but it would make our lives so much easier
