To manually fix a broken sample reference, locate the missing sample in the File Browser:

Drag the file from the File Browser, and drop it on the corresponding entry in the File Manager's missing file list:

Note that you can update the file reference using any sample file you wish; it doesn't have to be the same file that was missing.


Please press the *Next Page* button below to learn about the File Manager's Automatic Search.

$TargetName Automatic Search

The File Manager's Automatic Search function is often the easiest way to repair broken sample references:

You can click the *Go* button to begin searching immediately, or unfold the triangle on the left to reveal search options:

-> *Search folder* includes a user-defined folder in the search;
-> *Search Project* includes the current Set's project folder;
-> *Search Library* includes Live's Library.


For each missing sample, the Automatic Search may find any number of *candidates,* or possible matches:

-> If no candidates are found, you can either restart the search using fewer constraints or locate the sample manually;
-> When one candidate is found, Live accepts the candidate and considers the problem solved;
-> If several candidates are found, click the entry's *Show Candidates* button, shown below; the candidates will be listed in the File Browser:
