checking and unchecking the Read and Write permission columns

• It is also possible to make separate track permissions in the project In-
spector. Selecting a track in the Track list, opening the Network section 
in the Inspector and clicking the “Override Project Permissions” button

settings for the track directly in the Inspector.

a permission preset and/or manually added users and specified their 
permissions for this particular project – it’s time to actually share the 
project.

In the “Project Sharing and Permissions” dialog
1.If it is not already active, activate the network by checking the option 
“Active” on the Network menu.
2.Open the “Project Sharing and Permissions” dialog...

About the project folder
When you’re sharing a project, you have to decide whether the project 
folder for it should be located on your local hard disk, or – if you’re 
sharing the project over a LAN and have access to a common file 
server – if it should be located on the server.
You should consider the following:
•If the project folder is located on your hard disk, the files it contains 
will be copied to the other users’ hard disks, and their project folders.
This way, work on the...

Joining projects
The “Shared Projects” dialog lets you join projects shared by other users 
in the network.

work menu.
