# Rename fields in form submissions

It's not always you have control over the form your submissions are coming from. If you're using a CMS or some other form of web app, the fields sometimes show up in your form with a nice label like "First name" but when the submission actually come through the name is `field_12`. Which isn't the most user friendly name.

You can rename fields by double clicking on the field label when looking at a submission, writing a new name and pressing enter. Just like this:

This field will now be renamed for all future submissions, both when viewing a submissions but also in outgoing emails, through the api, when sent to Zapier etc.
