 +==== Finger Controls ====
 +The rig includes individual FK controls for each finger bone as well as a proxy controls for finger curl. These controls are dynamically created to match the number of fingers and finger bones in the character skeleton.

 +==== Reverse Foot Controls ====
 +The rig includes a standard reverse foot setup with a roll control at the ankle as well as individual tip and heel controls.

 ===== Known Issues ===== ===== Known Issues =====
  
 +==== Converting a Control Rig track to layered in the sequencer breaks the rig ====
 +Due to a bug in UE 5.5 and 5.6, using the //Convert To Layered// option on a control rig track is likely to cause problems with the rig.
 +{{ :ue5-mixamo:mixamo-cr-convert-layered.png?direct&600 | The Convert To Layered option for a control rig track}}
 +//Note: In 5.7 this issue is fixed, however if the sequence contains other characters with control rig tracks, any animation on those tracks will likely be broken.//
 +
 +**Workaround:** Remove the existing Control Rig track and add a new one with the Layered option enabled.
 +{{ :ue5-mixamo:mixamo-cr-add-layered.png?direct&600 | Adding a layered control rig track}}
 +
 +==== Finger Proxy Controls not working in layered mode ====
 +When the control rig is in layered mode, the proxy controls for finger curl do not work. This same issue is present on the Epic Mannequin control rig included in the Third Person Template, so it could be a bug or limitation with the way the controls are driven through the backwards solve when used in layered mode with an animation.
 +
 +**Workaround:** The individual FK controls still function correctly even if not as convenient as the proxy control.
 +
 +==== Lines to the IK pole targets not drawn in layered mode ====
 +The Draw Line node doesn't seem to work when the control rig is in layered mode. Again, this is also present on the Epic Mannequin control rig, so seems to be a bug with the editor.
 +
 +**Workaround:** This is just a visual bug, the pole controls still function correctly.
