Magnetic Test. Drag the event to test the current Snap Intensity setting.

Snap to Nearest Audio Zero Crossings. Automatically snap edited audio clips to the nearest zero crossing of the waveform (the point at which there is no volume) to minimize glitches that can happen when waveforms are spliced together.

Markers. Snap to any marker.

Now Time. Snap to the current Now Time.

Clips. Snap to the start or end of any clip.
