The naming convention of editions is configurable on the level of a title. You may want to change them if not satisfied with the system default names.

The changes affect .descName and .shortName of the edition object, independently for the real editions and edition templates.

To change names, edit the related title.

Note: as the system needs to recompute the changed data, it may take longer than expected on databases with many pages. Moreover, the users may need to restart the applications to see the changed names.
