How to change the players names in a lichess study/pgn?

Hi everybody,

i would like to add the actual player names to a study. Right now the two players are just named 'anonymous'. I hope somebody knows how to do this.

Thanks in advance!
Under the board, select the paperclip icon, and you see the list of existing game tags. You can add a new tag there at the bottom:

Hi fuxia,
thanks for your answer. I dont think that's what i am looking for Since this change wouldnt change the actual player names in the exported PGN document. There should be a way to change the names in the PGN itself. So of i export the PGN the names are already included correctly for white and black. Hope you understand what i mean.
Greetings
Yes, this does change the player names. If it doesn't it's a bug.
@Ilgson A decent text editor (ex. sublime) should be enough to quickly search for the old name and replace all results with the new name. Might be easier than messing around with a web interface?
@fuxia ah my bad alright. in that case thank you for the solution here in lichess!

@clutchnutz yes, you're probably right. I am only using lichess and my first thought was that it would be nice if it would be possible on this site.
