# Edit Boundaries

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

Edit boundaries are represented by ¦ vertical lines that appear in your script. They may look like a gray colon ( **:** ) in your 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.
