Open a file or folder’s details panel to check its information without leaving the page you are browsing.
Open and close the panel on Web
Open the menu for a file or folder and choose File Details or Folder Details.
Choose a tab beneath the item’s name and artwork.
To close the panel, choose the arrow button at its top right (Close panel).
You can open the panel for any item you can view, even if you cannot edit it. Row menus on the Shared page do not offer it, so open the item from its folder instead. In a narrow window the panel may close; reopen it from the item’s menu.
Choose a tab
On Web, files have Details, Notes, Tags, and Activity. On iPhone, files have Details, Notes, and Activity.
Folders have Details, Description, and Activity. Folders do not have a Tags tab.
Read file information
In Details, audio files show Duration, BPM, Key, LUFS, Sample Rate, Bit Depth, Channels, File Type, and File Size. A dash means the value is not available. Bit Depth appears for lossless formats such as WAV, AIFF, and FLAC, and Channels appears only when the count is known. Other file types show their type and size.
Channels shows Mono for one channel, Stereo for two, or the number of channels, such as 6 channels. It describes the file and is not a setting you can change.
Read folder information
Folder Details shows Duration, Items, File Types, and Folder Size. Duration, items, and file types count only what is directly inside the folder. Folder Size also includes everything in its subfolders.
Find the location and owner
In Details, choose the folder name beside Location to open the folder the item is in. Items at the top of your library show My Library.
The panel also shows who owns the item, with its Created and Modified dates. If you own the item, Shared With shows the people who have joined it. If someone else owns it, your role appears beside You. Use the folder’s sharing controls to manage access.
Add notes or edit audio details
Open Notes for a file or Description for a folder to keep feedback and project context with the item. On Web, press Enter or click outside the field to save. Press Escape to discard your change.
You can edit BPM and Key in Details. To edit notes, a description, BPM, or key, you need to own the item or be an Admin or Editor in its shared folder. Viewers can read them but cannot change them. If a change cannot be saved, the panel says so and offers Retry.
Use Tags and Activity
On the Tags tab, Pro members who can edit the file can add and remove its tags. If you can edit but are on Free, the tab shows Unlock Tags with an Upgrade button. Viewers can see a file’s tags but cannot change them. Tags are a Web feature.
Activity shows changes to the file or folder, who made them, and when. Plays, views, and downloads are in Insights instead. Only the owner sees sharing changes; Admins and other collaborators do not.
Understand the bottom actions
On Web, the bar at the bottom of the panel depends on your role. Owners and Admins can use Share and Insights there, along with the favorite star. For Editors and Viewers the bar is hidden, so use the star on the item’s row to add it to Favorites.
Use Details on iPhone
Open the item’s action menu and tap Details. Swipe down to close it.
Details shows the same information as on Web. Tap the folder under Location to open it.
Tap the BPM or Key row to edit it. Notes and descriptions save when you leave the field or close Details.
Buttons for Favorite, Insights, and Share appear at the bottom when your role allows them.
If a rename or note cannot be saved, Traklist tells you and offers Try Again.
Useful tips
Scroll inside the panel to reach lower details while keeping your place in the library.
If you can edit the item, choose its name or artwork at the top of the panel to rename it or change its artwork.
Public share-link pages do not have this panel.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot edit a field, check your role in the shared folder. Upgrading to Pro does not change what your role lets you edit.
If your account is over its storage limit and the grace period has ended, editing stops until you free up space or upgrade.
If audio values are missing, wait for processing to finish, then refresh the page. Some formats and longer files do not receive every analysis result.
If a folder total looks smaller than expected, remember that only Folder Size includes everything in subfolders.
If Activity cannot load, choose Retry. If it says the item is no longer available, it was deleted, moved somewhere you cannot open, or is no longer shared with you.
