What does this button do? ≡§ (Link Selection Toggle)

• A. It displays a waveform monitor
• B. When active, automatically selects associated audio if you click a video segment
• C. It locks the currently selected clip
• D. It toggles snap alignment for edits

Answer: (B)

Linking selections is about whether video and its associated audio are treated as a unit on the timeline. When this toggle is on, clicking a video segment also selects its linked audio, so you can move, trim, or edit them together as a single unit. This behavior is exactly what the option describes: with the toggle active, selecting video automatically selects the corresponding audio, making synchronized AV edits easy. If you prefer to edit video and audio separately, you can turn the toggle off and selections won’t pull in the linked track. This button isn’t related to displaying a waveform monitor, locking a clip, or changing snap behavior.
