Revise and save changes.
The changes are going immediately to the audio files after saving. So, it makes sense to review the changes before applying them. The spreadsheet format makes it easy to review the changes and eliminate unwanted mistakes.
Use the app to identify inaccuracies and duplicates in your audio tags. All the changes you have made are highlighted with a grey background. We recommend revising all those cells carefully before saving the changes. Once changes have been saved, they cannot be reverted.
The unwanted changes can be reversed with the Undo or Reload commands.
