Chapter 9: Pro Tools Main Windows 111
5 You can type a different number for the new
Window Configuration (if the number you type
is already used by another Window Configura-
tion, you are prompted to replace it or Cancel),
otherwise Pro Tools automatically fills in the
first available number (1–99) for the Window
Configuration.
6 Type any comments for the new Window
Configuration.
7 Click OK to store the new Window Configura-
tion, or cancel.
The new Window Configuration is added to the
Window Configuration List.
Recalling Window Configurations
You can use the Window Configuration List to
recall stored Window Configurations. You can
also use the Number Keypad on your computer
keyboard to recall a specific Window Configura-
tion.
To recall a Window Configuration, do one of the
following:
■ Select the Window Configuration from Win-
dow > Configurations.
■ In the Window Configuration List, click the
Window Configuration to recall it.
■ On the numeric keypad, press Period (.), the
number of the Window Configuration (1–99),
and then Asterisk (*).
The Pro Tools session’s screen layout updates
with the stored Window Configuration.
Undoing a Window Configuration
Pro Tools lets you revert to the previous Win-
dow Layout and Window Settings with a single
level of undo. This is useful, for example, if you
recall a Window Configuration, but then decide
you want to revert to the previous screen state.
To undo a Window Configuration:
■ On the numeric keypad, press Period (.), 0,
and then Asterisk (*).
To redo a Window Configuration:
■ On the numeric keypad, press Period (.), 0,
and then Asterisk (*).
If Auto-Update Active Configuration is enabled,
undoing the Window Configuration reverts to
the previously stored Window Configuration
without automatically saving changes (see “Up-
dating Window Configurations” on page 112).
Editing Window Configurations
You can change which properties are stored
with Window Configurations, as well as the
number, name, or comments.
To edit a Window Configuration:
1 In the Window Configuration List, select the
Window Configuration you want to edit.
2 From the Window Configuration List pop-up
menu, select Edit <Name>.
3 In the Edit Window Configuration dialog,
make the desired changes and click OK.
On the numeric keypad, type Period (.), a
number (1–99), and then Plus (+) to add a
new Window Configuration at that number
slot. If a Window Configuration already ex-
ists at that numbered slot, the new Window
Configuration overwrites it.
