Editing Track Details

When you need to make changes to a single track, the detail modal is your go-to interface. It brings together everything about a track — name, stage, tags, collaborators, file locations, and more — into one organized panel. Whether you want to rename a song, update its workflow stage, or add a collaborator, you can do it all without leaving the page.

This guide walks you through opening the detail modal, understanding what you see, and making your changes stick.

You can open the detail modal for any track in a few ways:

Double-click a track row in the grid
Single-click to select the track, then press Enter
Click the pencil icon that appears when you hover over a track

The modal slides in from the right side of the screen, overlaying the tracks grid. It stays open while you work, so you can reference other information on the page behind it.

To close the modal, press Escape, click the X button in the top-right corner, or click outside the modal area.

The modal is organized into collapsible sections, so you see the most important information first and can expand deeper details as needed.

Header Area

At the very top, you see:

Track artwork — a large preview image, or a generated gradient if no artwork exists
Track name — displayed in title case (e.g., “Summer Vibes V3 Final”)
Owner badge — confirms who owns this track
Quick-action buttons — for playing the track, favouriting it, or opening the sharing menu

Default View (Collapsed Sections)

When you first open the modal, several sections appear collapsed to keep the interface clean:

Status & Stage — shows current workflow position
Tags — displays any tags applied to the track
Collaborators — lists everyone with access
Files & Paths — shows Dropbox locations for bounces, projects, and stems
Sharing — manage who can see and edit the track

Click any section header to expand it and reveal the editable fields.

Editing Track Information

Changing the Track Name

The track name appears in the header area and is editable directly. Click on the name text to activate the input field.

When you type a new name, the app remembers your change — even if you close and reopen the modal later. Your custom name won’t be overwritten by automatic sync operations from Dropbox.

If you never edited the name manually, the app derives it from the latest bounce or project file in Dropbox. For example, a file named “MY_NEW_SONG_V3_FINAL.wav” would display as “My New Song V3 Final”.

Updating Status and Stage

Workflow stages help you track where a song is in your production pipeline — from initial idea through editing, mixing, and final release.

Expand the Status & Stage section to see:

Stage selector — a dropdown or progress indicator showing the current stage (Idea, Recording, Editing, Mixing, Mastered, Ready to Post, Published)
Due date picker — set an optional deadline for the track
Excitement level — a 0–100 slider indicating how excited you feel about this track right now

Click any of these fields to change them. Your changes save automatically when you click away or close the modal.

Managing Tags

Tags help you organize tracks beyond the standard workflow stages. You might use tags like “Pop”, “Guitar-driven”, “Needs Vocals”, or “Top Pick”.

Expand the Tags section to:

View current tags — displayed as coloured pills below the section header
Add new tags — click the ”+” button or start typing in the tag input to search existing tags or create new ones
Remove tags — click the X on any tag pill to remove it

Tags are shared across your entire library, so when you add a tag to one track, it becomes available for all other tracks too.

Working with Collaborators

The Collaborators section shows everyone who has access to this track. You’ll see:

Avatar circles — profile pictures or initials for each collaborator, with the owner always listed first
Role indicators — whether each person is an owner, editor, or viewer
Add button — invite new collaborators by email

To add a collaborator, click the Add Collaborator button and enter their email address. They receive an invitation to access the track’s Dropbox folder.

To remove a collaborator, click the options menu (three dots) next to their name and select Remove Access.

Viewing File Paths

Expand the Files & Paths section to see where your audio lives in Dropbox:

Bounce files — the exported audio versions (WAV, MP3, and so on)
Project files — your DAW sessions (Ableton Live .als, Logic .logicx, and so on)
Stems — individual instrument stems if you’ve organized them separately

Each file shows its Dropbox path and the date it was last modified. You can click any file to open it in your browser or download it directly.

Saving Your Changes

Most changes in the detail modal save automatically. When you edit a field and click away, the app immediately syncs your change to the database.

For the track name specifically, a small “Saving…” indicator appears briefly, then confirms with a checkmark. This tells you the name has been locked in and won’t be overwritten by future Dropbox syncs.

[!TIP] If you’re editing many tracks at once, consider using Bulk Editing instead of the detail modal. Select multiple tracks in the grid, right-click, and choose Edit Selected to change stages, tags, or buckets for everything in one go.

Tips for Efficient Editing

Use keyboard shortcuts — press E when a track is selected to open the detail modal without reaching for your mouse
Collapse unused sections — keeping only the sections you need open makes the modal less cluttered and faster to navigate
Batch similar changes — if you need to update the same field across many tracks, use the tracks grid’s multi-select feature instead of opening each modal individually
Watch for sync indicators — the modal shows a subtle spinner when Dropbox content is being refreshed, so you know when file information is up to date

Songs & Track Groups — understand how tracks are organized
The Tracks Grid — navigate and select tracks
Bulk Editing — change multiple tracks at once
Column Management — customize what you see in the grid
