[RPG] errata posted/published

dnd-5eerratawizards-of-the-coast

Where will changes and fixes to guides and manuals for 5e be found? I'm interested in a grappler build, among others, and don't know where to look to see if the last bullet for the grappler feat has been changed. The grappler example aside, it should be useful to know for future fixes.

The most recent version of the Sage Advice Compendium will contain a list of links to errata for individual books

Wizards do not maintain a single up-to-date reference page which lists all the current errata or how to find it. However, their Sage Advice Compendium PDFs contain a list of links to the most recent (as of publishing) errata documents for all official 5e products; the best way to find errata is to check the most recent version of the SAC, revisions of which should be published in articles in the "Sage Advice" section of the WotC website.

As a general rule, most errata documents are announced/published in Sage Advice articles before being referenced in updates to Sage Advice Compendium, and those articles are not obviously updated when later errata affecting the same resources is published (though the files they link to may change to newer versions without notice). In some cases Wizards have announced new errata solely by announcing a new SAC version with the new links, as in the November 2020 update. The December 2021 update announced new errata while simultaneously linking to a new version of the SAC (and, despite calling it a Sage Advice article, didn't actually put it in the Sage Advice section of their site).

This all makes trying to search the internet for relevant errata quite annoying, especially as the order in which the articles are indexed by search engines does not necessarily put the most recent version at the top of the list.

(It must also be noted, as per Akixkisu's answer, that the official errata documents do not actually document all of the changes in text that have been introduced in newer printings of some 5e books, including changes that some consider significant.)

As of this edit, the most recent version of the Sage Advice Compendium is v2.7 (~December 2021), but this will undoubtedly be superseded in the future. The list of errata links from this version is reproduced below.
