You can open the first playlist in a sound file by choosing Playlist/Cutlist from the View menu.

Nondestructive editing using the Playlist/Cutlist

When you perform edits on sound files using cut-and-paste operations, Sound Forge must shift the sound data on your hard drive. When working with large files, this process can be time consuming. However, when you create regions in the Regions List and rearrange them in the Playlist, only the playback (as opposed to the hard-disk storage) order changes. This is called nondestructive editing since your original file is not modified.

When you are done arranging the regions, Sound Forge can create a new file containing your final arrangement.
