Renaming Actions
While building a workflow, there may be times when you'd like an action's name to be a bit more descriptive than the default name. Take the Connect to Servers action, for example. Renaming this action to include the name of the server volume to which it connects would be helpful. You can rename a workflow's action in two steps.
To rename an action:
Select the action in the workflow area and choose Action > Rename (Figure 4.43).

or
While holding down the
key, click the action's title bar to open the contextual menu and choose Rename (Figure 4.44).
Figure 4.44 Renaming an action within a workflow from the action's contextual menu.
The action's name in the title bar becomes editable.
In the field, type the desired name and press the
key (Figure 4.45).

The action's title bar now displays the action's new name in parentheses after the original name for the action (Figure 4.46).

Tips
- Renaming an action is a good way to insert a comment into a workflow. This is especially helpful if you're distributing your workflow to other people who may need to edit it.
- Renaming only affects an action within your workflow. Within the Library list, the action retains its original name.
