Arranging
• Linked Repetitions—If you choose this option, only the new copies
of the original clip are linked together. Edits you make to the new
copies do not affect the original, and vice versa.
• Link to Original Clip(s)—If you choose this option, the new copies
and the original clip are linked together. Edits you make to any of
the linked clips, including the original, affect all other linked clips in
the group.

SONAR creates copies of the selected clips that are linked in the way you
chose.
