When a file is modified, changes and undo information are saved in temporary files until the file is saved. If Sound Forge software terminates improperly, these temporary files remain on your hard drive. The software can use these temporary files to restore the changes and the undo history for the file.

When you start the application after a crash, the Crash Recovery dialog is displayed if temporary files are detected in the temporary file folder specified on the General tab of the Preferences dialog:

• Click the Recover button to restore the changes and undo history for the files listed in the Files that can be recovered list.

• Click the Cancel button to discard your edits and undo history. The original media files will remain unchanged.
