Search Actions give you quick access to editing tools, insertable elements, navigation commands, and stock media — all from one place. You can open Search Actions from the right sidebar in any project, or press Command + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows).

Use Search Actions to jump to a marker, remove filler words, export your project, or search for stock visuals — all without digging through menus.

What can you do with Search Actions?

Search Actions lets you find and launch tools quickly — without digging through menus or remembering where everything lives. Think of it as your universal command bar inside Descript.

You can use it to:

• Apply edits or effects to your script or media
• Insert visuals, comments, or other elements
• Navigate your project more efficiently
• Access project settings and share options
• Search for stock media or support resources

This isn’t the only place you can run these actions — many tools are also available through the editor UI or timeline. But Search Actions is one of the fastest ways to explore what’s available and get things done.

You can open Search Actions from the right sidebar in any project, or by pressing Command + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows).
