I have checked the diff of the pull request. New version makes it much easier to understand. Thank you.

I was confused where to rename and kept thinking that it's the number that can be renamed. After all that was the only name visible for the duplicate. Bottom area where text can be entered, did not look like editable area on my machine at all and never tried it. I kept trying to change the number part.

I don't know if these widgets allow placeholder like HTML widgets do. If they do, perhaps a placeholder like "Enter name here" will help a lot.

Thank you all for the help and pointers.

thanks Terry, this wasn't obvious from the documentation, so I have created a PR to propose an update: https://github.com/darktable-org/dtdocs/pull/333 <https://github.com/darktable-org/dtdocs/pull/333>

    I have just read the manual and it does mention the buttons at the
    top right. The buttons are actually at the bottom. To rename a
    duplicate just place the cursor in the box next to the duplicate
    and give it a name. The process is very easy and straightforward.
    The developers have done a great job with this module. If any
    developers are reading this. It would be great to have the same
    renaming capacity for snapshots.

        So, is this a documentation bug? I knew about those buttons
        and panel on left hand side. For me, most of the times
        duplicates module is  collapsed. If you have lot of entries in
        history panel, I have to scroll down to expand the duplicates
        module and the buttons are at the bottom, so I was looking for
        a shortcut. My interpretation was, there will be something on
        top right either of the module or darkroom view, but these
        buttons are at bottom.

        Manual also mentions the duplicates can be renamed. I have not
        figured out how to do it and I just get the entries 0 and 1
        etc. Can it be done from darkroom duplicates view? If so, how?

        In my darkroom layout the left hand panel is populated with
        snapshots, history, duplicate manager, color picker, tagging,
        image information, mask manager and export.

        With duplicate manager open it displays a thumbnail of the
        current image and under it 2 buttons "duplicate" and
        "original". If I click duplicate it creates a new thumbnail
        with the same edits as the first. If I click original it
        creates a new image with only my "base" modules applied.

            Greetings,

            On 3.6, Ubuntu 20.04


            I must be going blind or something. I could not find the
            buttons as
            described at
            
https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/3.6/en/module-reference/utility-modules/darkroom/duplicate-manager/
            
<https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/3.6/en/module-reference/utility-modules/darkroom/duplicate-manager/>


            It says buttons on top-right and I don't see any buttons.
            Trying to
            figure out top right of what? Where it says
            lighttable/darkroom etc or
            top right of duplicate manager where reset instance etc
            buttons are
            typically shown.


            In either case, I don't get any buttons anywhere. All I
            want to do start
            a new image without any changes or a virgin version as
            manual describes it.


            Regards,

            Niranjan
