# Rename a Custom Component Group

First, create a Custom Component Group (with a default name) in the Beast Core 6 Search plugin. Then, rename your new group via its editable textbox in the 3D Viewer Settings → Groups tab → Custom Groups section.

## Create a Custom Component Group in the Search App

See the [Create a Custom Component Group](/beast-core/docs/create-a-custom-component-group) article for more information.

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> The default naming format for all **Custom Component Groups** created via the Search plugin (or for a component you decide to Zoom to by selecting *Zoom to Component* on a pop-up **Actions Menu**) is: *Layer_0*, *Layer_1*, *Layer_2*, etc.
> 
> - BEST PRACTICE: For easier name recognition, rename a new component group right away in its editable textbox on the 3D Viewer Settings → **Groups** tab.
