Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.
In the Editor View of your Pen, you can now edit the title by clicking the pencil icon at the right of the title (or the Pen’s slug, if you haven’t given it a title yet).

It used to be that you could only edit the title from the Pen Settings. You can still do that, but now you have options ✨
Hats off to Tim Holman, who took the lead on this feature!
