Rename sequences manually

To manually rename a selected sequence:

1. Select a single sequence name from any MegAlign Pro view, then right-click on it and choose Rename Sequence(s). Alternatively, select the sequence name and choose Edit > Rename Sequence(s).

The Choose Label dialog opens with the Display drop-down menu set to Custom label.

2. Type the desired name into the Label text box.

3. Click OK to save changes and exit from the dialog, or Cancel to leave the dialog without saving any changes.

*Note: When you export data for a renamed sequence, the new name may be exported or not, depending on the situation. See Retain custom names during export for details.
