When the Link Timeline and Edit Selection option is enabled, what does it allow you to do?

When the Link Timeline and Edit Selection option is enabled, it allows the timeline and the edit selection to operate cohesively, meaning that any changes made in the edit selection automatically reflect in the timeline. This linkage is crucial for ensuring that edits you make to audio or MIDI regions are synchronized with the visual representation of the project timeline.

Specifically, this allows for streamlined editing workflows where adjustments like trimming, shifting, or duplicating selections occur concurrently with your timeline. The function helps users keep their edits organized and manageable, ensuring that they are working on the precise portions of the audio track as they appear in the timeline. This synchronization enhances efficiency greatly, especially in complex projects with multiple tracks.

The other options do not accurately reflect the function of linking timeline and edit selection, focusing instead on unrelated features or capabilities.
