# Asset names
In Collibra Data Governance Center version 5.4 or newer, including Collibra Platform, there is a significant API change impacting asset names. Starting with this version, assets have names and unique full names, respectively referred to as `displayName` and `name` in the API . In older versions, you only had `name` to refer to the asset name.
| Action via API | Behavior |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Add asset | When you add an asset via an API call, you must enter a name and you can specify a different displayName:
name: This is the mandatory unique full name of the asset and is represented by Full name in the UI.displayName: This value is optional and corresponds to the asset Name in the UI.
If you don't specify a displayName ,it automatically defaults to the value of name.
You can use name to update the asset Full name and displayName, to update the asset Name.
During an update operation, the displayName does not change if you only update the name.
