# Name Asset Versions

Assigning custom names to versions can help you better organize and identify specific versions of your assets for improved content management.

By default, Contentstack assigns a version number to each asset (e.g., "Version 1," "Version 2," etc.) . To make versions easier to identify, you can assign custom names, such as "Initial Image for Banner" or "Do Not Edit."

To assign a name to an [asset](/docs/headless-cms/about-assets) version, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login), and perform the following steps:

1.  Go to your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack) and click the “Assets” icon.
2.  Navigate to the asset you want to modify.
3.  Click the **version** **dropdown** located in the top-right corner of the page.

4.  From the dropdown menu, view the list of all asset versions. Click the **Rename** icon next to the asset version you want to rename.

5.  Type the new name for the version in the provided field. Once done, confirm your changes by either clicking the **checkmark** icon or pressing **Enter** on your keyboard.
