Homebrew Content Management
Its would be great to see a feature where I can go on to my homebrew collections and add them to a sort of "folder". And then the ability to click on your campaign and choose what homebrew content your players have access to. Like you do now with the official sourcebook but for homebrew.

I had recently posted exactly this suggestion on the forums before finding this feature request system. I have an ongoing Forgotten Realms game where I'm adding customized magic items or spells, and I'm also doing some world-building for a homebrew campaign setting with custom subraces and feats. I don't want to mix the two in any way, but it's getting harder to separate them without some sort of management system.

As a lover of homebrew, and a DM of multiple pure HB campaigns I have a lot of homebrew content on my account.
As a player in a campaign with another homebrew DM, I understand how crazy it can be trying to keep track of things. While on the Character Creation screen, there is no indication at all that a Feat option that's available to my character came from a fellow player, or the new Adventure I just purchased for its options. While I'd love [an otherwise invisible] "(HB)" marker akin to the Unearthed Arcana content, I think what is really required is the suggested feature: Folders.
We have a Homebrew Collection toggle, at present, which is a massive help when my campaigns are not actively using an item/feat/race. But a dropdown of check boxes for which Campaign I would like to activate/deactivate that HB item in would be stellar.

Imagine having homebrew collections to browse through similar to steam's workshop collections. Imagine finding a "Middle Earth" homebrew collection, or a "Sci Fi" homebrew collection. Subscribe to the one collection and immediately have all items, races, subclasses, feats, monsters, etc that you need to run a fully functional homebrew campaign in that setting.
I feel it would be pretty easy to make custom collections for private use or for sharing in the system. Mash two or three collections together and have a hugely feature rich homebrew system. When you make your own campaign, display a list of all the collections you've created/are subscribed to. Every checkbox you place gets put into the campaign.
