Adding artwork into Illustrator that shows up in Character Animator

Question

Hello, I have a Illustrator file set up for Character Animator. The puppet works fine. I want to change the artwork for the left arm of the character. I add the arm into Illustrator, turn off the old arm, and everything seems fine in Illustrator. When I save and go back into the Charcter Animator puppet, the new left arm doesn't show up. The new arm that i brought into Illustrator is a PNG file if that helps a diagnosis.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks!

Editing the puppet works best if you open the original within Character Animator (CH) In CH, select the file for your puppet, right click and choose "edit original" to open up the program you built the puppet in - in this case, Adobe Illustrator. Make the edits you want, delete the files you are no longer using (CH will try to open them otherwise) and save your file. When you return to CH, the puppet will update with the edits.
