# Filename Template Editor

![](https://www.tvrename.com/assets/images/options/filename-template-editor-01.png)

This is where the format of the filenames that TV Rename will rename to are defined.

To help illustrate the results the “Sample and Test:” panel contains the processed entries from the show and season selected in the ***My Shows*** tab.

The “Naming template:” text box displays a tokenised version of the filename which can be edited directly or populated using the “Tags:” drop-down, or overwritten with a record selected from the “Presets:” drop-down. Any changes in the “Naming Template:” are automatically reflected in the “Sample and Test:” panel.

The available tags with their definitions are listed below: -

| {ShowName}       | Name of the Show                                                                                                                          |
