## Renaming a Menu Item

UI Designer provides an intuitive interface for adding menu support to your UI Designs.

Any menu item can be renamed at will.

#### Renaming an Existing Menu Item

1. Open a UI Design in the UI Design Editor or select an open UI Design.

If this UI Design contains any Menu Bar components, they will be displayed in the non-layout region.

Figure 1 shows a UI Design which contains one Menu Bar, named menuBar1.
