Which keyboard shortcut is commonly used to locate and relink missing files in Pro Tools?

• A. Option + M
• B. Control + M
• C. Command + M
• D. Command + R

Answer: (C)

Locating and relinking missing media is a common workflow in Pro Tools when files have been moved or renamed outside the session. The quickest way to start that process is to use the relink command via a keyboard shortcut. On Mac, pressing Command together with M opens the relink/Locate Missing Files dialog, letting you point Pro Tools to the folder containing the missing clips and re-establish the links. This single keystroke is the best choice because it directly triggers the relink workflow, speeding up recovery of the session. Other shortcuts in that set perform different actions (like window management or unrelated commands) and don’t initiate the relink process, so they aren’t the standard method for locating missing files.
