Overview Widget
The overview widget sits at the top of the activity panel and gives you the essential details of the selected track in one compact view. It is the first thing you see when you click a song in the grid.
Think of it as the track’s business card — everything you need to know at a glance before diving into the more detailed widgets below.
What You See
Section titled “What You See”When you select a track, the overview widget displays:
- Song name — the title of the track group, extracted from your file names or set manually
- Stage badge — the current workflow stage shown as a colour-coded chip (e.g. Idea, Editing, Ready to Post, Published)
- Bucket — which project or collection the track belongs to
- File count — how many audio files and project files are attached
- Created date — when the track was first imported
- Last updated — when anything about the track last changed
All of this updates instantly when you switch between tracks in the grid. There is no loading state — it just swaps.
Favourite Toggle
Section titled “Favourite Toggle”In the top-right corner of the overview widget, you will find a heart icon. Click it to mark the track as a favourite. Click again to remove it.
Favourited tracks show up in the Favourites section of the sidebar, giving you a fast way to jump back to songs you are actively working on or want to keep close at hand.
The favourite state saves immediately in the background. You can favourite a track and move on without waiting for confirmation.
When to Use Favourites
Section titled “When to Use Favourites”Favourites work well for:
- Tracks you are actively mixing or producing this week
- Songs you want to pitch to a specific playlist or sync opportunity
- Anything you want quick access to without scrolling through your full library
There is no limit to how many tracks you can favourite. If you find your favourites list getting long, consider using tags or buckets for more structured organisation instead.
Quick Actions
Section titled “Quick Actions”The overview widget may also surface quick actions depending on the track’s state. These give you one-click access to common operations without scrolling down to the relevant widget.
Examples include:
- Change stage — tap the stage badge to open the stage dropdown right from the overview
- Assign bucket — click the bucket name to reassign the track
- Play — if the track has audio, a play button lets you start playback immediately
These shortcuts keep the most common tasks within reach so you can move quickly when reviewing your library.
Multi-Select Behaviour
Section titled “Multi-Select Behaviour”When you select multiple tracks, the overview widget adapts:
- It shows the number of tracks selected (e.g. “3 tracks selected”)
- If all selected tracks share the same stage or bucket, those values display normally
- If the selected tracks have mixed values, the widget shows a mixed indicator
- The favourite toggle is not available in multi-select mode — favourite individual tracks instead
This makes it easy to confirm what you have selected before applying bulk operations in the widgets below.
- Use the overview as a sanity check. Before editing metadata or changing stages, glance at the overview to make sure you have the right track selected.
- Favourite tracks during review sessions. As you listen through a batch of songs, favourite the ones that stand out. Come back to them later from the sidebar.
- Check the file count. If a track shows zero files, it might need a fresh import or the original files may have moved.
