The ternary stannides RMn6Sn6 (R = Sc, Y, Gd-Lu) with hexagonal HfFe6Ge6-type structure (P6/mmm) are a key platform for exploring coupled topological electronic and magnetic properties. We focused on single crystals of ErMn6Sn6 and observed successive field-induced phase transitions. Using element-specific x-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism (XMCD/XMLD) measurements in pulsed magnetic fields up to 30 T, we revealed the microscopic nature of these transitions, supported by thermodynamic data. We discuss Er and Mn moment reorientations and their link to macroscopic results.
