Demo where are character sheets/how to make a character?
Running 3.3.5 demo. Just trying to make a character for a campaign I will be joining later today. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to open the character sheet or find anything explaining it. The closest I have found is, players can use manage characters to create or edit characters. Might be I'm just dense but that isn't much help. Anyone here able to give more clear instructions?

Welcome to the forums.
When you first start Fantasy Grounds there are a number of good links on the first screen. The User Guide section of the Wiki is a good place to start - look at 5E -> Character Sheet: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/...haracter_Sheet
Some of the videos in the Wiki are also worth watching. Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nurEMR4JJeU It uses the PHB product, but you can do the same process by activating the Basic Rules or SRD library module - you'll just have a bit less data than the PHB.
Also see the "Guides, videos and other helpful information" thread at the top of the 5E forum.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

I checked out the help guide, but it starts with to edit your stats instead of how to open your character sheet. I found under manage characters a create pc button but it does nothing that I can see.

There is a golden rule in Fantasy Grounds - if you don't see an option, right-click to bring up a context menu. Some info in the "Basics" section of the Wiki here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/...#Context_Menus Keeping options in a right-click menu helps the interface remain uncluttered and saves valuable screen space.
You can also click on the brown / icon at the bottom of the Character Selection window to get additional buttons to create a character.
The video I linked above also shows this - at around 2:28.
This more in-depth video also covers this - around 5:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBKnA4EiuQIPrivate Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

I just added details of how to create a new sheet to the Wiki. Obvious that it should have been there anyway, but until it is pointed out....
So thanks charlesIf there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Sweet thanks. I didn't even notice the brown mark. The video I remember checking out had the green thing already present.
