# How Can You Change the Pseudonym of a Single Entity?

## This article will teach you how to change the pseudonym of a single entity using while anonymizing. You'll learn how to specifically modify a name while keeping the pseudonym logic for other entities.

There may be times when you want to change the pseudonym for just one entity within a category. In the example below, we want to change "Jens" to something specific (eg. witness) while allowing other names to follow the pseudonym logic (B, C, D, etc.).
