# Change Display Name

This chapter describes how you can expand and collapse the tree in the left pane of the SymbolsPalette

<details>

<summary>P\&#x26;ID Symbols \&#x26; Line Segments</summary>

Enable **Edit Mode** first (see [Edit Mode)](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/symbolspalette/usage/edit-mode.md).

The **Display Name** can be edited in both the **Class Display Names** and **Symbol Name** (see [Class vs. Symbol Name](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/symbolspalette/usage/class-vs-symbol-name.md)).

To edit the text you use **Properties** from the symbols context menu.

You see the display name which comes from the project setup.

![](https://2994090777-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZH2AGHzvPfBW7YdaaGc0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-586921a0bb7da2afbe1413cc48f3912d90badadb%2FPET-SymbolsPalette-Usage-87.png?alt=media)

Just override it with your text and click OK.

Now the new **Display Name** is shown.

![](https://2994090777-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZH2AGHzvPfBW7YdaaGc0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d1040e8502f9b0b8db51caf8157588851d304d23%2FPET-SymbolsPalette-Usage-89.png?alt=media)

The Custom Display Name is used in both the Symbol Name and Class Display Name view (see [Class vs. Symbol Name)](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/symbolspalette/usage/class-vs-symbol-name.md).

![](https://2994090777-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZH2AGHzvPfBW7YdaaGc0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-95e89e162860047a9b2bd69da23b2118f4240c3d%2FPET-SymbolsPalette-Usage-302.png?alt=media)

If you want to reset the text you can click on the red cross.

Or you click on the **Reset** button. Be aware, that this will also reset the Images you may have selected (see [Change Image](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/symbolspalette/usage/change-image.md) ).

![](https://2994090777-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZH2AGHzvPfBW7YdaaGc0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-90b905088a6767a09a01593359cbae60ceeaf3f5%2FPET-SymbolsPalette-Usage-91.png?alt=media)

Now the **Display Name** is back to normal.

![](https://2994090777-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZH2AGHzvPfBW7YdaaGc0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d2d0575048a61b1f9620e5c5dc3ff682a6c81dee%2FPET-SymbolsPalette-Usage-92.png?alt=media)

At the end of the process disable the **Edit Mode** again (see [Edit Mode)](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/symbolspalette/usage/edit-mode.md).
