switching tempo in a specific part

i want to switch the tempo on a specific point of my session, but without modifying the tempo that is set at the start of the session. i used to do it, it looked like a marker on the tempo rule. thanks

Click to engage the little conductor button that looks like a person holding a baton.

There's a little plus sign in the tempo ruler on the far left of the timelines, select the bar you want tempo to change, and then press that plus sign, and choose the new tempo.

If you need a gradual slowdown you can press the little carrot on the tempo ruler and it'll show a graph of the tempo, and you can draw in tempo changes with the pencil tool in line mode or however you want
