# Edit boundaries

> Visual "cut-content" indicators in the script.

Edit boundaries are vertical lines that appear in your script where two clips or edited sections meet. They can look like a gray colon or divider in the script.  They are different from [scene boundaries](/visuals/boundaries) and represent where two [clips](/visuals/working-with-layers-and-clips-overview) in your script meet. Edit boundaries will show up anytime you make an edit in the Script editor or Timeline, so anytime you:

* [Add video or audio to an existing script](/getting-started/import-overview).
* [Delete or ignore](/script-editing/delete-vs-ignore) sections of script.
* Make cuts in your script track with the [Blade tool](/timeline/timeline-tools).
* Insert a [gap clip](/timeline/using-gap-clips) or a [freeze frame](/timeline/freeze-frames) in your script track.

### Smooth edits and restoring media

When edit boundaries are showing, you can quickly access the following additional features:

* **Smooth edits**—put your cursor on an edit boundary and click **Regenerate**  to smooth any jumpy, mismatched, or awkward edits using our Regenerate feature. [Click here to learn more about Regenerate](/script-editing/fix-take).
* **Restoring removed media**—if you need restore anything you edited out, put your cursor on an edit boundary, right-click, and select **Restore removed media** from the dropdown menu that appears. [Click here to learn more about restoring removed media](/script-editing/restore-removed-media).
