Double click Actions on the PWS (Project Workspace) on the left. Then choose the model for the Action, if you have more than one model in the project.

 

Actions are reusable. If you have done Exercise 2 in TaoA:M, then the Can-Can action that you apply to the characters is a reusable action.

 

If you create a walk cycle action, then you can use the same action on many characters with the same rig.
