Channel tabs can be assigned specific colors for quicker and easier identification. This is achieved using channel groups. To open the "Channel Groups" window, where groups can be managed, right-click any channel tab or the channel name in the Timeline panel, and then select the "Channel Groups…" command:

channel_groups

Press "Add" button to add a new channel group, specify its dedicated name:

channel_groups_add

The group color can be customized by clicking in the "Color" field and selecting the desired color from the dialog that appears:

channel_groups_color

The order of channel groups can be changed using the "Move up" and "Move down" buttons:

channel_groups_move

Click "OK" to complete the channel group creation.

To assign a channel to a specific group, right-click the channel tab and select the desired group from the "Add to group" menu.

channel_groups_add_to_group
Note
The same menu is also available by right-clicking the channel name within the Timeline panel.

The channel tab will be highlighted with the color defined for the selected channel group. The channel name in the Timeline panel is highlighted as well:

channel_groups_colored

To remove the channel name highlighting, use the "Remove from group" command.

Channel tabs can be grouped and displayed in an ordered manner on the Timeline and in the Playlist grid. To enable this behavior, select the "Order channels by groups" option.

channel_groups_ordered
Note
The tab of the channel that doesn’t belong to any group is displayed last.

Deselect the "Order channels by groups" option to restore the original order of the channel tabs.
