# Rename an asset

There are two ways to rename an asset:

- You can permanently change the name of your asset.
- You can temporarily rename your asset in a project.

## Permanently change the name of an asset

> [!WARNING]
> Attention!
> 
> Permanently renaming an asset is only possible from within the company that is owner of the asset. However, a shared asset can still be renamed from the Asset Group panel. If you rename an asset, this is considered a final change across all projects.

Click **Assets** in the navigation menu.

Select the asset you want to rename. A panel opens where you can enter the new name of the asset. Save the changes.

## Temporarily rename an asset

Click **Assets** in the navigation menu. Go to the **Groups** tab and select the group which contains the asset you want to rename.

In the **Assets** tab of the asset group, you can rename an asset by clicking on its name and typing the new name. Save the changes.
