Using Search Folders

Search Folders is an option in Navigation View that enables you to see all items with the Sources or Nodes group. This is useful if you want to view and work with items from multiple folders, and perform tasks such as coding, printing, exporting or adding to sets.

Viewing Nodes

You can use the Search Folders to see a list of all nodes in your project— expand the Search Folders in the Nodes group and click All Nodes.

Viewing Sources

You can use the Search Folders to see a list of all sources in your project— expand the Search Folders in the Sources group and click All Sources.

Checking Media Files

To see all media files stored externally, expand the Search Folders in the Sources group and click All Sources Not Embedded.

This is useful if you work with large audio and video files not embedded in the project. The tick in the Available column indicates that the file is available to the project.

If you move or delete linked files, the media files will become unavailable to your project because they are not present in the location specified in the Filename column. If you need to view or work with a media file that is not available, you will need to locate the file and update the file location. Refer to Moving Media Files for more information.

 

 

Search Folders contain only shortcuts to actual project items. You cannot delete project items using theSearch Folders.
