# Flagging Shots

The flag system is accessible from almost any menu and allows you to enable and disable flags, create and delete flags, and copy flag states to one or more shots.

NoteWhen in the timeline or the colourist's timeline, the flag system is always displayed to the right of the timeline canvas.

System flags are available by default for all shots. There are five types.

Render
  Flags the shots to be rendered.
Changed
  Indicates whether or not the current shot has been modified since the last save.
Locked
  Locks the current shot to prevent modifications. The shot's locked status is also indicated by the word Locked that spans the three printer light fields.

Shot Priority
  Assigns priority to the current shot in the timeline. See Shot Priority.
Notes
  Denotes whether notes exist against the current shot. Unlike the other system flags, the Notes flag cannot be turned on or off. Instead, its state is automatically updated depending on the contents of the Notes window. The Notes flag is set only when content is added to the Notes window. See Assigning Notes to Shots.
