The Files section of the Project panel lists every file in your project. To act on a specific one, open its Project File Actions menu: rename a file, start transcription or Speaker detection, duplicate it, and more.

​

2. Navigate to the Files section.

Fix file issues

Descript automatically analyzes your files for issues like audio drift or unsupported codecs. If Descript detects a problem, a caution badge appears on the file in the Project panel. To repair a flagged file:

1. Click the ellipsis button (...) next to the file.
2. Select Fix file issue. This option only appears when an issue is detected.
3. Review the detected issues and click Repair file.

Repairing adds a fixed copy to your project and preserves the original file. Repairs are subject to rate limits:

• 10 repairs per user per 10 minutes
• 30 repairs per project per hour

​

View file metadata

1. Select a project file from the Files section.
2. Click the Show file metadata button in the bottom-right corner of the pop-out panel.
