You can use the track and version-based sync locks to decide the behaviour of tracks or versions when performing editing operations, such as trimming or an insert edit. In this case, you do not have to select individual elements on tracks.
The contents of a track set to Sync can ripple even when nothing is selected for the edit on it. This is to keep segments in sync throughout many tracks and versions. For example, performing an insert edit on a track can have the effect of a gap of the same length as the inserted material being created on another synced track.
You can also right-click a sync lock icon and select to sync or remove sync from all tracks or versions.
