# Change the labels of tables in the sidebar

If you want to keep your table name but show a different label in the sidebar, you can specify a different heading label in table settings.

**To change the label of a table in the sidebar:**

1. Open the table you'd like to customize, select **Settings** under the table name, then select **Advanced settings**.
2. In the Advanced Table Settings section, select the **Show in the table bar** checkbox, and then use **Override the heading with** option that appears to enter a new label.
3. Select **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note: This operation changes only the label on the table bar. If you prefer, you can [change the name of the table](/v1/docs/changing-the-names-of-tables) throughout your app. You can also [hide a table from the table bar](/v1/docs/hide-tables-from-the-sidebar).
