# Editing Fileset Revisions

## What

Revisions themselves have some properties that can be edited: namely the name and the description of the revision.

## When/Why

Editing the properties of a revision is also done from the "Manage Revisions" window...we'll use it if we want to edit the name. For instance, every time the first revision is created, it is called "Initial Revision"...which is helpful to know, but not very descriptive. Below is how we change that.

## How

First, we'll go into the "Manage Revisions" view for a particular fileset, then choose "Edit" with a revision selected:

There are only two fields to set, but setting them descriptively does help later when creating associations.
