The channel list lets you work with parameters, and makes it easy to edit values and channel groups, and manage the currently scoped parameters.
Tip
The channel list is also available as a sub-pane of the channel editor .
The group list shows all channel groups. Press 
on a group to
see a context menu for the group.
The parameter list shows the parameters on the selected objects and/or in the selected channel groups. Select parameters in the list to scope them.
When you select objects, the channel list shows parameters of the object that either are keyed already, or are marked “auto scope”. “Auto scope” is a property of commonly-animated parameters that makes them automatically show up in the channel list. See auto-scope parameters .
In addition to the value-editing techniques and
shortcuts available in the parameter
editor , you can also select multiple value boxes at once
in the parameter list and type or use the 
value ladder to change
them all at once.
Press in one of the sub-panes to show commands and
options specific to the sub-pane. Press on items in the lists to
show commands and options for the item.

Pending keys
A group’s key icon becomes orange if any parameter in the group or its sub-groups has pending changes.
Dark orange (same as background of a pending value) means a group contains some (but not all) channels with pending changes.
Bright orange (same as pending key marker on time-line) means all channels in a group have pending changes.
Black key means no pending changes.
The “pending” color will override the green key for “Show Key Status” (if it is turned on).
