Copying Rigging to New Puppet

I'm having trouble doing this. I've created one character with three outfits. I'm trying to keep the same rigging for each of them so she changes while she's walking. 

 

However, I'm having a hard time duplicating the rigging on the character. 

 

I saved the puppet, then changed the original psd file. But when I go back into CA, only some of the rigging is the same. 

 

Can someone give me a step-by-step guide to making this happen?

Need more clarification.

Do you have three seperate puppets (3 different PSD files)? Or is it one puppet with three outfits?

If it's one puppet with three outfits you will have to re-rig each new outfit.

In that case when you edit the originals, if any layer names are changed this will mess up the rigging. If you add, remove, or change the order of any layers this will also change the rigging and you would have to rerig.

 

I don't know what method you're using for creating copies, but here is the best method I have seen.:
