+4. Rename your codespace and manage auto-delete for easier identification and to
+   prevent accidental removal:
+
+    By default, your codespace will have a randomly generated name. Renaming it to
+    something descriptive — such as referencing the issue or feature you’re working
+    on makes it much easier to manage your codespaces. You can also disable
+    auto-delete to ensure your codespace isn't removed unexpectedly:
+
+    - Open your [GitHub Codespaces dashboard](https://github.com/codespaces)
+    (<https://github.com/codespaces>) in your browser.
+    - Find the codespace you just created (it will show the repository name and
+    the current random display name).
+    - A: Click the ellipsis (**...**) next to your codespace to open the
+    options menu.
+    - B: Select **Rename** from the dropdown.
+    - Enter a descriptive new display name, e.g.,
+    `Bug 7084 - text() recycling problems` or
+    `Ignore deprecated/defunct fns in checkS3methods`, and confirm.
+    - C: In the same options menu, click on **Auto-delete codespace** to toggle
+     off auto-delete (remove the check mark). This will prevent the
+     codespace from being deleted automatically.

+    !!! Tip
+
+        You can rename your codespace at any time. The display name is
+        for your convenience and **does not** affect your code or environment.
