Blank Illustrator Template Character Link modification not working with BETA

Dave is a great teacher with those videos.

The suggestion is to use the Blank Template Character which I agree with but it can be confusing as to whether its a teaching tool or a Template. The Layers are colored in a inconsistant way and the abscence of + on the layers makes rigging a bit confusing if you arent following along with the tutorial. (Illustrator version)

 

The bug though is that "Edit Original Artwork" with Blank puppet in Illustrator didnt carry over after saving Blank Puppet in AI 2020 format locally (Desktop) and to the the CC cloud. The link seemed to disconnect.

I simply changed the shoes to Red . Windows 10 platform.

Correct answer CoSA_DaveS

After Edit Original, make your changes in PS or AI, and hit Save. If you do Save As to a different location or format, Ch won’t know, so it won’t pick up the changes.

 

If you have already done this, you can repoint the Ch project to the new location by selecting the puppet in the project panel, and then clicking on the blue (or orange if it’s missing) file path in the properties panel and choose the new file location.

    ...I always overlooked the blue file path in the properties panel! Great! :)))

    Thought:
    Whouldn't it be a cool thing to have the option to choose the file path in the contex-menue in the project-Panel, as well?
    That would make it also more constent to AE ("replace footage"in contex-menue in the project-Panel). There I whoud search for it in the first place.
