Task Window
The Task window is a utility for viewing and
managing all of the background tasks that you
initiate with Pro Tools. Use the Task window to
monitor, pause, or cancel background tasks such
as file copies, searches, indexing, and fade cre-
ation.
Relink Window
The Relink window provides tools and features
for relinking sessions and catalogs to media files.
Use Relink tools to search and reacquire missing
files for use in the current session.
Managing Windows
Window Configurations
Pro Tools provides a powerful means of manag-
ing the configuration of windows in your ses-
sion, as well as the internal configurations of the
Edit, Mix, MIDI Editor, Score Editor, and Trans-
port windows. Use the Window Configuration
