Version
The Source Files tab of the File Manager displays information about the media files that are included in the Originals folder of your project. From within the File Manager, you can determine the status and owner of media files, as well as which files are read-only.
You can also move or delete the source files you no longer need directly from the File Manager. If, however, you are using a source control plug-in, an additional set of commands, such as Submit Changes and Check out, will be available by right-clicking a file from the list. The specific commands that will be displayed will depend on which source control system you are using with Wwise.

Status |

If the status of the file is unknown, a hyphen (-) is displayed. | |||
Owner |
The owner of the file. If the owner of the file is unknown, a hyphen (-) is displayed. | |||
Read-Only |
Displays whether the file is read-only. | |||
Usage |
Displays whether the source file is being used by one or more audio/motion sources in your project. Audio sources can have any of the following usages:
The information displayed in the Usage column takes into consideration all operations that exist in the Undo list, including file import and delete objects. As a result, the information may not appear to be completely up to date. Before deleting any files that are marked “Not used”, it is a good practice to close and re-open the project to make sure the information is completely up to date. | |||
Copies the contents of the dialog box to the Windows clipboard so that you can paste the information into a new file. | ||||
Closes the File Manager. |
