If you attempt to copy only a portion of a linked clip, the copy will not be linked to
the original. Copies of a clip can be linked to the original only when you select and
copy the entire clip.
To Make Linked Copies of a Clip Using Drag and Drop
1. Right-click in the Clips pane and choose Drag & Drop Options to display the
Drag and Drop Options dialog box.
2. Check the option labeled Copy Entire Clips as Linked Clips.
3. Click OK.
4. Select the clips you want to copy.
5. Position the mouse over one of the selected clips.
6. Press and hold down the Ctrl key.
7. Press and hold down the left mouse button. A rectangle is displayed around
the selected clips.
8. Drag the clips to their new location, and release the mouse button.
9. If necessary, confirm the options in the Drag and Drop Options dialog box, and
click OK.
SONAR creates copies of the selected clips that are linked to the originals. Any
change you make to one of the clips is applied to all linked clips, including the
original clip.

original clip are linked together. Edits you make to the new copies do not
affect the original, and vice versa.
