rate (and if you edit any of the imported audio data). Automatic handling of imported files is enabled
by default. Do not disable this option unless you are prepared to manage the audio files individually.
Creating backups of your projects is very easy if all your audio is stored in a single, per-project
directory.
To Change Handling of Imported Files
Use the following procedure to allow or disallow file sharing between projects:
1. Choose Options > Global and click the Audio Data tab.
2. Check the Always Copy Imported Audio Files option to create copies of all imported audio clips
as a default.
Or
Uncheck the Always Copy Imported Audio Files option to reference imported audio from its
current location.
3. Click OK when you are done.
Imported files will be handled based on the settings you have chosen.

Backing Up Projects with Digital Audio
There are several ways to back up your projects in SONAR. You can use per-project audio folders to
keep all a project’s audio in its own folder, use the Consolidate Project Audio command to create a
backup copy of all your project’s audio, or you can save a project as a bundle file (.cwb).
Note: You can override this setting when importing audio by checking or unchecking the Copy
Audio to Project Folder option in the Import Audio dialog.
