Channels Region

The channels region is used to select and manage the curves for the Graph editor. This part shows the objects and their animation data hierarchy each as headers. Each level can be expanded/collapsed by the small arrow to the left of its header.

Scenes, Objects (dark blue)
Actions, Shape keys, etc. (light blue)
Groups (green)
Channels (gray)

Name Filter Ctrl-F: Only displays channels that match the search text. Pressing the invert button displays all channels except the channels that match the search text.

Controls

On the headers, there are toggles to control channel's setting:

Pin (pin icon): Make the channel always visible regardless of the current selection.
Hide (eye icon): Hides the channel(s)/curve (Graph editor only).
Modifiers (wrench icon): Deactivates the F-Curve modifiers of the selected curve or all curves in the channel.
Mute (checkbox): Deactivates the channel/curve.
Lock (padlock icon) Tab: Toggle channel/curve from being editable. Selected channels can be locked by pressing Tab.

Note

In the Dope Sheet this is also working inside the NLA, but that it does not prevent edition of the underlying F-Curve.
