Overview
Auto-naming helps keep captured screens organized from the moment you start building.
When this setting is enabled, Walnut automatically names each captured screen based on the title shown in your browser tab. This creates a more familiar naming pattern during capture and makes it easier to sort through screens later in the template editor.
Auto-naming is enabled by default, but you can turn it off if you prefer to name each screen manually.

Enable Auto-Naming

- Click Advanced settings at the bottom of the menu.
- Make sure Auto-naming is turned on.
How Auto-Naming Works During Capture
Once auto-naming is enabled, Walnut automatically applies the browser tab title as the screen name when you capture a new screen.
After each capture, you will see a preview of the screen you just added. The preview uses the same naming convention shown in your browser tab, which makes captured screens easier to recognize as you build.
If you want to adjust the name right away, click the preview and update the screen name in the bottom-left corner of the pop-up window.
You can also rename screens later at any time from the Walnut template editor.
Tip: Even with auto-naming turned on, it is still worth reviewing screen names before publishing if you want cleaner labels for internal organization or viewer-facing navigation.
FAQs
How do I turn off this feature?
If you want to stop using auto-naming, open the Walnut extension, go to Advanced settings, and toggle the feature off.
After that, you can name screens manually during capture instead.
Auto-naming gives you a faster, cleaner capture workflow by using your browser tab titles as screen names. It is a small setting, but it can make large capture sessions much easier to manage.
