Exactly what Luis said, but if you have access to the harmony scene with the rig you want in it, you can open the scene, duplicate the rig, then cut it and paste it into your library in Harmony. There are so many files for a harmony scene, I never know what to save where, so I just let Harmony do the work.
recently just started diving into harmony premium knocking out short looping animations. I want to do it the correct way by sketching on the underlay art layer and then tracing it on the line art layer and coloring on the color art layer. However, Ive already roughed out the entirety of my animation on the Line art layer.
I had to go back to harmony 11 to keep working, but I was using that version of harmony 22.0.1 build 19338 and having massive bugs all the time, it didnt auto save anything and had the playback error.

Harmony is a digital animation software package produced by Canadian company Toon Boom Animation, Inc. Harmony (previously Toon Boom Studio), along with Adobe Flash, are the go-to software for modern-day 2D digital animators due to their low cost and potential shortcuts that are not offered with traditional ink-and-paint animation. Harmony is also fairly affordable for both professionals and amateurs alike. While Flash has been used more frequently for television/movie animation entertainment for years, it was actually built for interactive web design, thus making it a bit of a curve to create content for other areas, and Harmony's software was developed to solve this by tailoring it to the creative cartoon animator's needs instead. It has tools for both traditional frame-by-frame animation and "puppet rig"-style animation. Harmony has capabilities that emulate an animator's drafting table, network nodes, built-in automated lip-syncing functions, built-in 3D modeling and intergration, and quality rendering directly from the program. Toon Boom used to have separate programs for storyboarding, animating, entire production pipelines, and children's learning, but have simplified the pipeline in the latest version into just three pieces of software- Harmony for all animation tasks, and Storyboard Pro for storyboarding and concept visualization. The third product, Harmony Server, is meant to help synchronize the works of large studios by acting as a repository for animation assets and storage.
