When I first created a model and rig, I created some bone selection sets. Then I linked + proxied the model for my scene. Later, I went back and added another bone selection set in my original model, but it never seems to load the new selection set in the linked files. I have tried to reload the linked file in the outliner but that doesn’t work.

It would be wonderful if you could save these out and import them from file to file, so each animator could make their own! Especially with the wonderful new hotkey.

I'm using 2.8 and haven't been able to find the menu that's shown on the left side of the screen that has the blenrig tab, how can I show this?

*@Simon Taylor* Follow the instruction on this side:

https://cloud.blender.org/p/blenrig/5cb14ebd808c0e07cdde1d03 and you will be able to use the BlenRig 5 and will find it in the View3d Sidebar (N). Hope this helps, cheers!

The inbuilt is a little outdated, latest here. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sobotka/blender-addons/master/bone_selection_sets.py

@Stephen Petersen: The daily builds of Blender have the latest version of the add-on. Troy Sobotka's repository isn't authoritative here, as it only forks Blender's official add-ons repository.
