title: Track Context Menu
---                        


  
  <p>Within the editor window, context-clicking on either a region or empty space within a track will popup the <em>track context menu</em>, which provides easy access to many track-level operations.</p>
<p>If you click on a region, the first item in the menu will the name of the region. If there are more than one regions stacked where you clicked, this will be followed by an item called <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>
