Need to restructure your project? You can reorder, move, and copy sections and clips without losing your audio. Learn to rearrange your project exactly the way you need it.
How you reorganize your project depends on which Studio experience you're working in. WellSaid Studio supports drag-and-drop section reordering. Legacy Studio – Standard and Global supports clip reordering, moving, and copying between projects.
Reorder sections within a project
WellSaid Studio and Caruso (Legacy)
Drag and drop sections into any order. Your rendered audio is not affected — all takes stay exactly as they were.
- Stop playback before reordering. Reordering is disabled while audio is playing.
- Reordering cannot be undone. Double-check your intended order before making changes.
- Hover over a section to reveal its drag handle.
- Click and drag the section to a new position. A drop indicator shows where it will land.
- Release to place the section. It snaps into position immediately.
To move multiple sections at once:
- Select the sections you want to move, then drag any one of them. Their order relative to each other is preserved.
The new order updates immediately across your script, global playback, and Combine exports. If playback order seems off after reordering, refresh the page and play back using the global play button to confirm.
