Creating a nickname for a favorite asset

You can give nicknames to assets in the Favorites list. The nickname is displayed instead of the asset's file name or value. For example, if you have a color named #999900, you might use a more descriptive nickname, such as PageBackgroundColor or ImportantTextColor.

You can give nicknames only to assets in the Favorites list. In the Site list, the assets are listed by their real file names (or values, in the case of colors and URLs).

To give a nickname to a favorite asset:

1	Click the category that contains your asset.
2	Click Favorites to display the Favorites list.
3	Do one of the following:
	Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the asset's name or icon in the Assets panel, and choose Edit Nickname from the context menu.
	Click the asset's name once, pause, then click it again. (Don't double-click.)
4	Type a nickname for the asset, then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
	The nickname appears in the Nickname column.
