Adding one layer in CA rig

Question

Hello! Would updating the puppet in Photoshop/Illustrator lose all the settings you made in Character Animator? I tried updating the puppet by adding another layer, and immediately, all my bones, points, behaviors, and other edits in the Rig window, were gone. I had to reapply them all.

Is there a way you can simply update a specific part, or import only a few layers into Character Animator? Is there a way to update the existing layers in Photoshop/Illustrator without affecting any of the progress you made so far?

Editing the puppet from within the program should retain all of your rigging. Right-click on the puppet's name in the Project panel and select "Edit original." The original file is meant to be linked to the puppet and any saved changes in the linked file should show up in your puppet.
