I have the latest Adobe version and on monthly plan. I Painter the option "Send to Substance Stager" is grayed out and not selectable. Do I need to do something in my Painter project befor I can send it to Stager? Or is something wrong?

You might have created project using UV tile workflow. Can you create a new project with UV Tile Settings disabled and see if send to Stager is working?
Have just created a simple project that was originally Udim so tried as suggested with Uv tile setting disabled works perfectly. I think Stager is capable of producing superb renders [ now that I am getting to grips with it.] My only 2 gripes about rendering within Painter was the inability to rotate the model independant of the Hdri and.... the inability to add extra lights although the renders from Iray are superb. I actually feel the renders from Stager are even better that those from Iray due I think to the added flexibility in the lighting set up within Stager. I am very pleased with Stager and obviously the more I use it the better the results will become. So once again many thanks for the help with this.
I understand it may be this UV tile format that is not compatible, is there any way to change a current or already finished project to no longer be this type type of format? Still new to the space and the software, any help would be appreciated, as I don't really want to have lost a bunch of work as unable to record or create portfolio images and videos due to not being able to export the creations to Stager. Any other software I could use for this?
Yeah, I think it's because Stager doesn't support udims, if you create the project with the legacy workflow it works as intended. Very much hope this is something Adobe will develop in the near future! Meanwhile, just render in Blender instead 🙂
