Cues
Add CuePoints (cues) to a track.
Cues are created under a CuePoint Type. A CuePoint Type allows you to group multiple cues into separate topics/departments / etc. Cue Types can be individually shown/hidden, synced and exported.
Adding Cues
Pressing the CuePoint Type with the mouse at the top of the screen or keyboard shortcuts will add a cue at the playhead position. By default when opening a new project generic CuePoint Types are added to get started, these can be completely customised.
Label Cues on Creation
Tools > Toggle Label Cues on Creation When enabled, after adding a cue, the pop-up will appear to specify a cue note. Press enter once you have added a note or simply press enter to leave it label-less until later. Pressing the esc key or the X to close the pop-up without creating the cue. When disabled, a cue will be added without a note.
Pause while Labelling
Tools > Toggle Pause While Labelling When enabled, the timeline playback is paused whilst a new cue is being labelled to allow you time to write away. Some users disable this and prefer for playback to continue regardless.

CuePoint Types can be viewed and edited by pressing the 3 dots next to CuePoints in the bar.
In this menu, you can reorder the CuePoint Types, change cue visibility and lock them to avoid any changes being made accidentally.
