In the Mergado Editor you will encounter **three kinds** of elements:

1. _from input_ (in the input file)
2. _from a rule_ (output elements, **created by a Converter rule** )

Elements from input and from rule cannot be **renamed** , their names are automatic.

1. _manual_ (created by users)

You rename manually created elements as follows:

- On the _Elements_ page, move the mouse **over a specific element**.
- The **gray pencil symbol** will appear next to its current name to rename it.
