I’d like to have the possibility to rename components so to have a fast reference on what exactly i am using that component for (in this case I’m applying different filters) ![rename components](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/f/7f91bb430e282919451311cc269278e4f27eef0d.png) ---

The name comes from the spreadsheets tab, so you can´t change it. You can have four different tabs on your spreadsheet with different names but the same data if it’s that important…otherwise I don’t think there’s a way around it ---

When you have lots of similar components, it’s useful to use the “Select Mode” for navigation. There are 2 icons at the bottom left of the builder, like so: ![Screen Shot 2020-11-19 at 8.48.33 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/f/dfbcbec67c037154000ab52d985d57e10e47b88d.png) Using select mode (the one on the right), allows you to quickly identify and switch between components. ---

We have new design for the component list coming this year and will allow renaming components. ---

Good, will it include the possibility to save layout templates to copy/paste them in other tabs/pages? > [@Creating templates/copying layouts of lists/tabs would be a big time saver](https://community.glideapps.com/t/creating-templates-copying-layouts-of-lists-tabs-would-be-a-big-time-saver/18622): > > As said in the title, the possibility to copy lists configuration, ‘pages’ configuration would help not to waste a lot of time Thx ---
