How do I export/import a model+rig that I made for animation in order to add them to other projects?

Hi there, I am asking this question because I am not sure what I should do in terms of this. I have a model that I rigged and set up, and I would like to be able to use the model in other animations and sets. I tried to export using .fbx, and it seems to break the model, it removes the names, the coloring, and the IK chains of the bones. Is there anything that I need to do? Thank you in advanced.

Hi, Try using Append and then select collection, before appending make sure that all the characters objects are in that collection when saved .

This worked, tysm!
