If you select a file in the Import Medium dialog and click Open, the Import Options dialog opens.

Copy File to Project Folder/Copy All Files to Project Folder

Copies the audio file to the Audio folder of the project, and has the clip refer to the copy.

Deactivate this option to have the clip refer to the original file in the original location. In this case, it is marked as “external” in the Pool.

Convert to Project Settings/Convert to Project Settings and Copy to Project Folder If Needed

Converts the imported file if the sample rate or the bit depth differ from the settings in the Project Setup dialog. For single file import, you can choose which properties are converted.

Do not ask again

Always imports files according to the settings without opening the dialog again. You can reset this option in the Preferences dialog (Editing—Audio page).
