Downloading multiple animations with mixamo.

In the tutorials and documents on animations with mixamo, there was an option to download multiple animations at once. I don't' see that option.

I am able to upload different animations separately, but I can't figure out how to add them all to the animation pane in a sequcence by adding and editing clips .

For example i have "crouching to stand" and just "crouching". My idea was to have operator "stand to crouch", "crouch", and "crouch to stand".

This is my first time working with downloaded animations. Any help appreciated.

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.2

Adobe retired several features of Mixamo back on August 22, 2017. Here's a screenshot of the email that they sent about that decision:

Now, when you go to Mixamo, you have only 2 tabs: Characters and Animations. From what I can tell, you no longer have animation sets. Instead, you can download characters and/or animations individually.

When you download an animation, you can select whether the file includes the character or not. "With skin" means that it is the character shape and the animation in one file. "Without skin" is just the animation in the file.

So in FlexSim, the shape that you apply to the main object should either be a character or an animation "with skin."

Once you have that character imported, you can use the + button in the Animation Clips window to add additional animations "without skin."

I was able to get to this part but when i try to add the second animation to the animation pane, it always plays the first animation even after adding second animation. If you have a moment could you show how to put them on the animation timeline also?
