title: Track Context Menu
---                        


  
  <p>Within the editor window, context-click (right-click) on either a region or empty space within a track to display the <em>track context menu</em>. The context menu provides easy access to many track-level operations.</p>
<p>If you click on a region, the first item in the menu is the name of the region. If you click on a <a href="/working-with-tracks/controlling-track-appearance/layering-display/">layered region</a>, the next item in the menu is <code>Choose Top</code>. If selected, you will see a dialog that allows you to reorder the stacking of layers at that point. See <a href="/missing">Adjusting Region Layering</a> for more details.</p>
<p>The rest of the track context menu is structured as follows:</p>
