+  Processors can also be dragged and dropped from the <a href="/working-with-plugins/plugin-sidebar/"><dfn>Favorite Plugins</dfn> window</a> to an appropriate spot in the Processor Box.

 <h2>To Reorder (Move) Processors</h2>

 <p>
-  Processors can be re-ordered using drag-and-drop. Dragging a processor 
-  allows it to be moved around within the chain, or copied to another 
-  processor list on another track or bus.

+  Some processors have their own bypass controls that are independent of the one that Ardour provides; this can make it appear that the plugin is non-responsive when its independent bypass control is active.

+  A processor in the <dfn>processor box</dfn> can be selected with a <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-click on it; it will be highlighed in red. Other processors can be selected at the same time by <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-clicking on them while holding down the <kbd class="mod1">&zwnj;</kbd> key, and ranges can be selected by <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-clicking on them while holding down the <kbd>Shift</kbd> key

If multiple processors are selected, they will all be deleted at the same time.
