I am working with my players on NPCs from their characters' backgrounds.
We wanted to make some characters which are hidden from other players and are only visible to the DM and that specific player.
However, we can only see two options:
Is there a way to have a character visible only to the DM and one more player?
I tried having the character GM only but give the player control over it, but it was still invisible to them after I saved it.

Maybe a generic title for the character page, like "PC 1 Secret" and "PC 2 Secret" with pertinent info only visible to the relevant player?

I mean, sure, that can go around the problem...
But from the answer I assume that it's not possible with the current settings?
I guess I'll need to put in a request for it.
Thanks!
Right, with the current settings, it's not possible to restrict viewing of any pages to one or more specific Players. The closest that currently exists is the Player Secrets, and the Private Character checkbox.

I heartily recommend use of the Player Secrets feature in campaigns.

We used the player secrets feature very heavily in https://a-god-rebuilt.obsidianportal.com/ They were essential and very useful!
Just trying to help out.
I appreciate the suggestions, but the player secret still makes the character visible to others, and just hides some of the information.
What I am asking for is an option to hide the character completely for all but one player.
Noted! I'll add it to the Feature Request list. Thanks!
