Rename a Dataset

Renaming a dataset in Datature Vi updates the display name only. Your images, annotations, dataset ID, and any active training runs are not affected. You can rename a dataset at any time.

Before You Start

You need an existing dataset in your Datature Vi workspace.
You need edit access to the dataset (Owner or Admin role).

Open dataset settings

Open the dataset you want to rename. Click the Settings tab at the bottom of the sidebar menu. The Settings page shows dataset configuration options including the Dataset Name field at the top.

You should see

Dataset browser showing the updated dataset name

The dataset now shows the new name throughout the platform.

What changes and what stays the same

Updated:

Display name in the platform UI
Name shown in search results and training workflow selection
Name returned by SDK and API queries

Unchanged:

Dataset ID (used in API calls and SDK scripts)
All images and annotations
Dataset settings and description
Existing training runs and active workflows
Team member access and permissions

Dataset ID Stays Constant

The dataset ID never changes, even after a rename. Your API integrations and SDK scripts keep working without any updates. Find the dataset ID in the URL bar or via client.datasets.get(dataset_id="your-dataset-id") in the Vi SDK.

Update the dataset description

While you have the Settings page open, you can also update the Dataset Description field. Enter a new description and click Update next to that field.

The description is a good place to record:

What the dataset contains
The intended use case
Data sources or collection methods
Version history or team contacts
