Help / Samples / Find where a sample is used

Find where a sample is used

List every project that uses a sample with a name you type.

Steps

  1. Open the Samples tab.
  2. Press “Find where a sample is used”.
  3. Type a file name in “Search your samples…”.

When it worked

Nearfield lists every project that uses a sample with that file name. While you type, it suggests names that contain your text. The panel “Same file name in several places” lists names that sit at more than one path.

More about this

Under “One project”, choose a project. Then press “Find samples the newest Set does not use”. It lists samples in that project's folder that the newest Set does not use. Older Sets can still use them, so check them before you remove anything.
