In the Description column enter the name of the issue as you would like it to appear.
Click in the same place, which now shows as a save (disk) icon, to save the changes.
In the example below, the November 2024 issue has been renamed as Winter 2024.

If you rename your publication issues to something other than the default months, you can rename them in bulk.
Click publications on the top navigation bar > Select the Publications from the Sidebar > Click New Issue.
Click the edit icon next to the month name in the header > A pop up will appear with the message 'Rename all issues for month year' > Enter the name in the text box eg Halloween 2025 > Click Ok to Save.
Issues renamed will appear across the top of the screen.

How changing an issue name affects the sidebar display
The sidebar displays one issue listing for each month, when select all issues created in that month appear in the centre of the screen.
If you have multiple publications and issues with different naming conventions be aware that the issue name displayed in the sidebar of the homepage, publications, booking screen etc will be the first alphabetically.
Example:
Publication 1 - Seasons - Spring (March), Summer (June), Autumn (September) & Winter (December)
Publication 2 - Monthly - January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Screenshot showing Autumn listed in the sidebar rather than September. (As A comes before S).
