Persona Gear Swap - Looking for "Best Practices" Help

Hey all -- my wife as a zerk main at 125 and is slowly leveling up her now-20 magician persona. Neither of us can figure out how to use the gear swap safely and consistently. Every time we try it, augs get stripped out or gear doesn't swap at all.

I understand its buggy. I totally get that.

Does anyone have a method they use short of swapping all the gear manually to make it as seamless of a transition as possible?

One of the things I have started doing is I keep one big bag empty. When I get ready to swap personas, I put that bag in the first inventory slot, so that way there, anything that gets swapped out will go in that bag where I can find it easily.

That's actually a really good idea. I am going to start doing that when I swap personas. Thanks for that!
