'''Linked'''
Linked project files do not store sound file metadata in the project file itself. The metadata is stored in a metadata file alongside the sound file. This is useful, if you use the same sound file and metadata in different projects. The metadata file has the extension ''stxsm''. The metadata is loaded from the metadata file when the project file is opened, and saved when the project file is saved.


Linked DataSet files have the attribute AFile set to the value Link. Metadata is not actually stored in the DataSet itself, but rather imported and exported from the associated metadata files each time {{STX}} starts up and exits. While {{STX}} is running, all the metadata is stored in an internal DataSet in memory.
==Unlinked==


'''Unlinked'''
An unlinked project file contains all the metadata for the included sound files. This is useful, if you are working on the same sound files as other people, but want your own distinct segmentation.


An unlinked DataSet file contains all the metadata for its AFile entries. If the DataSet is unlinked, you can use the [[User Guide/Dataset/Importing and Exporting DataSet Metadata|automatic Import/Export]] functions to automatically keep the metadata files on disk up to date.

There are two types of project files: linked and unlinked. You can change a project file's type by right-clicking on the STXDataSet entry in the Overview window and selecting Link or Unlink.

Linked Project Files

Linked project files do not store sound file metadata in the project file itself. The metadata is stored in a metadata file alongside the sound file. This is useful, if you use the same sound file and metadata in different projects. The metadata file has the extension stxsm. The metadata is loaded from the metadata file when the project file is opened, and saved when the project file is saved.

Unlinked

An unlinked project file contains all the metadata for the included sound files. This is useful, if you are working on the same sound files as other people, but want your own distinct segmentation.

SD0 and ST5 Files

SD0 and ST5 formats can still be imported into project files. These formats can, however, no longer be exported.
