Variants of linked collection instances I created a space ship turret in a Collection in a separate .blend file to use in another file. Then I created linked collection instance couple of times in a new file.

Now I would like to customize them a bit - rotate some of the guns on turrets (not whole turrets though, just some of the objects inside collection). And of course make different rotations on different instances.

After googling a bit only thing I found that was useful was using Object &gt; Relations &gt; Make library override but while I can rotate objects I want and still have a link, constraints inside collection seem no to trigger.

I also don't want to append whole collections into the file - I'm quite sure I will make some improvements to turret later and I don't want to replace 10 instances with new version.

What are my options? Is there any reasonable way to do it? It seems as kind of a obvious thing to do with collections and I can't anything useful on the topic...
I found it! According to docs library override doesn't work well with overriding animations. While I didn't actually animate turrets inside their file, I marked some properties (rotations) as properties for animation - that was enough to break the behavior of library override.
