# Reference Module

This module allows objects to be referenced as still onstage within the programmer and allows Atlas to know that it is still relevant to the show.

There are no editable functions associated with the reference module.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Referencing is a core concept of Atlas when using Park, Move-in-Mute and Live Moves. It allows the software to maintain objects within the playing space when no absolute action is associated with them within the given cue.&#x20;

Objects that are not correctly programmed will exhibit undesirable behaviour when not referenced.&#x20;
