What I mean is I have , say 5 or 6 different versions of a project where I change the name slightly. How can I tell which audio files belong to the final project "name" I want to keep?
Sorry if it's been asked before, I cannot find a way
Thanks

You might be able to use the date to figure out what belongs to what. 

    My understanding is those files are left along for the most part . They are accessed but rarely written to. If you create more files that is different. Remember that Sonar is nondestructive.

Open the final project and select from the main menu:  Project>Audio Files.....

That will list all audio files in the project.

Or, in the track view you can right-click a specific audio clip and select 
Associated Audio Files...  from the context menu.

Hey John
 
Not really because I don't edit all the files each time. I guess I might try "last accessed" and\or "last modified". Sure wish there was a way to do this, I mean a function of some sort.
Thanks

I would say Larry has the best approach here. I totally forgot about the files dialog.

Thank you Larry-But believe it or not now Sonar will NOT start on the new laptop. Out of nowhere. Was fine yesterday night when I logged off. I have changed nothing, added nothing and I have this stupid company party Thursday. I do not believe this

Stratman - another way to find out which files are being used by a project is to do a "Save As" to a completely different location, ensuring that "Copy Audio With Project" is checked.

This will create a new folder for you and you can check there which files are being used.

You can at this point if you wish, delete and/or archive everything contained in the original folder.
