Rename a Workflow

Update a workflow's display name to reflect its purpose without affecting its configuration or training history.

Renaming a workflow in Datature Vi changes the display name only. The workflow ID, all training configurations, and the full run history stay exactly as they were.

Before You Start

A workflow you want to rename inside that project

1

Open your training project

Open your training project

Go to Training in the sidebar and click the project that contains the workflow you want to rename.

You should see
Workflow canvas header showing the updated workflow name

The updated workflow name appears in the workflows list and in all run entries that reference it.

Naming best practices

A clear naming convention makes it easy to compare runs, trace results back to specific configurations, and onboard new team members who need to understand what each workflow does at a glance.

What to include in a workflow name

Pack the most useful identifiers into the name so you can distinguish workflows without opening each one. A good workflow name answers three questions: what domain, what model, and which iteration.

Recommended name segments

Segment
Purpose
Example

Combine these segments with hyphens for readability. For example: PCB-Qwen2.5-7B-LoRA-v2 tells you the domain (PCB inspection), the base model (Qwen2.5-7B), the method (LoRA), and the iteration (v2).

Renaming does not affect run history

When you rename a workflow, all past runs keep their original timestamps and metrics. The new name appears across the interface, but your training history stays intact. Rename freely as your convention evolves.
