# The Document page

> Transport, tempo, loop and track controls that work on the whole song, whichever device is selected.

Source: https://www.reasonremote.com/guide/document/  
Applies to: Reason Remote 1.4.0, Reason Remote Lite 1.3.0

The Document page controls the **song** rather than one device. It has the transport, tempo and click, loop locators, track navigation and undo. It's the same in Lite and the full version.

Get there by **holding the touch strip** on any instrument page, or with **Document** on a hub. While you're on it, auto-follow waits. Selecting a track in Reason won't move the deck, but the **Go** key updates to show that track's device.
