2. The segments must be adjacent to each other

To add a segment, click on the 'Add Segment' icon and select a location on the timeline.

To delete a segment, select the segment and click ‘Delete’ in the panel on the right side of the screen or press the Delete key

#### Re-align words inside a segment

Click ‘align words’ after making changes to a segment to recompute word-level timestamps.

#### Re-assign segments to different speakers

There are 2 ways to assign segments to different speakers:

1. **Individually**: click the orb next to the speaker name for a segment, and select a new speaker from the dropdown list.
2. **Bulk:** to reassign all segments from one speaker to another, click on the three dots (⋮) and select 'Move Segments To'. Then select the new speaker.

#### Add or delete speakers

To add a speaker, click the '+' icon above the speaker tracks. To delete a speaker, click on the three dots (⋮) next to the speaker’s track and click ‘Delete.’

**Important note**: if you delete a speaker, all of their associated segments will also be deleted.
