Soloing layers and groups in Character Animator

How handy would a solo feature like on audio in Premiere Pro and layers in After Effects be in Character Animator? It would work really well when going back and forth between profile views without having to turn on and off visibility and then remembering to turn it back on before going to record. Soloing whole groups or individual layers should only affect the Rig Mode and not carry over to Record Mode. Just a quality of life suggestion that would likely save a lot of pain. 🙏🤞

I'm not sure what you are describing. CH has a feature where you can "swap" layers, for instance you can have a whole set of variations on the character's hands or what they are holding. Is that what you're talking about?

No, that's Swap Sets. I'm talking about singling out (or soloing) layers or groups of layers to only view that one at a time in Rig Mode. If you've used AE and it would be more familiar. Screenshot is attached of where it is on the timeline there but it would work best in the puppet file tree in Ch to quickly view one set of layers while rigging or troubleshooting.

Thank you for the clarification. You might want to put in a suggestion for the feature using the menu on the right side of the page.
