Automatic Updating for Pro Tools Actions
Whenever Pro Tools adds, deletes, or modifies a file on a volume or in a project, the appropriate database is immediately updated to reflect the change.
*Changes that are made with Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder (such as copying or moving files) are not tracked by Pro Tools and are only indexed if the necessary folder is browsed or if a manual index is performed.
