# Edit a Load Balancer

Rename a Load Balancer from its **Overview** tab. Capacity, domains, backend groups, and rules each have their own page; see
[Change other settings](#change-other-settings).

## Before you begin

- A Load Balancer. To make one, see [Create a Load Balancer](/tir/tir-load-balancer/how-to/create-a-load-balancer/).
- Permission to update Load Balancers in the project. See [TIR Access Control](/tir/tir-iam/).

## Rename the Load Balancer

1. In **Load Balancer** under **Compute**, select the Load Balancer's name to open its details.
2. On the **Overview** tab, in **Load Balancer Details**, select **Edit**.
3. Change **Name**. A name is required.
4. Select **Save**.

If the save fails, TIR says why. You edit one section of the **Overview** tab at a time.

## Change other settings

The other settings each have their own page:

- The capacity is read-only on the **Overview** tab. To change it, see [Change the
  plan](/tir/tir-load-balancer/how-to/change-the-plan/).
- To add your own domain, see [Use a custom domain and
  certificate](/tir/tir-load-balancer/how-to/use-a-custom-domain-and-certificate/).
- To change where traffic goes, see [Create a backend
  group](/tir/tir-load-balancer/how-to/create-a-backend-group/) and [Add a
  rule](/tir/tir-load-balancer/how-to/add-a-rule/).
