# Managing the EditDesk List

An EditDesk list is a set of Source and Record Areas. Use the EditDesk list to organize your clips by creating Source and Record Areas and sorting related clips into them. The EditDesk list optimizes the use of an otherwise relatively small area by providing access to multiple folders, Source Areas, and Record Areas. Folders can be collapsed and expanded if they contain Source Areas and Record Areas. Similarly, Source Areas and Record Areas can be collapsed and expanded if they contain clips. Entries can be reorganized and moved within the EditDesk list.
