Chapter 12 Getting to Know Regions 305
Protecting Regions
You can protect regions against accidental alterations to start and end points, or the
anchor position, by locking them in the Audio Bin window.
To protect region start, end, and anchor positions:
m In the Audio Bin window, click the padlock icon beside a region to close (lock) it. Click a
second time to unlock the region.
If locked, you can play the region, but can’t edit it.
The Audio Bin tab shows the status of locked audio regions (in the column between
the file/region Name and Info columns), but you can’t lock or unlock audio regions in
the Audio Bin tab.

Warning: Don’t confuse this function with delete protection: A protected (locked)
region can still be deleted!
