Renaming desktops

When are apple going to allow us to give our own names to different desktops? I am a bit frustrated by the inability to change the names of different desktops to reflect what appears on each. The default 1, 2, 3 are not really helpful as I tend to group items on the same desktop together to make working from home easier.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.0

Renaming desktops It would be SO helpful to be able to give name to desktops, instead of the dull and mute "Desktop1" "Desktop2" "Desktop3" .... This subject seems to have very high expectations in the mac os community, particularly among coders. Tools were developed to go around the absence of this feature, But new security procedures make them hard to setup. Maybe someone found a way to implement this ? (without having to fullscreen an app, neither use stickies, neither creating wallpapers with names on it ..)

How can I rename Desktops / Spaces in macOS Ventura on MacBook Pro Can I name each desktop in Mission Control? There are so many various tasks on going at work. Allocating each app/browser in desktop 1, 2, 3...11 is very confusing when switching in between tasks. Especially when computer is forced to restart, all browsers would appear in one desktop. It takes a long time to reassign them back to the right desktop 1, 2, 3...11. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

My MBAir now has 2-layer desktop. Most of the time I use a Mac mini M1. Occasionally I need to shut that down and use my old MacBook Air, as I am now. The MBA works fine, as far as I can tell, but there is one glitch: The MBA desktop is confusing because 60-75% of the blue folders now have a second, overlaid, folder with a familiar title. The title is familiar because the folder is from my Mini. Somehow, my laptop MBAir 's desktop now includes the desktop of my Mac M1 Mini. I don't recall requesting (at any point) that the laptop Mac include the desktop of my table-model desktop Mac, so why is this happening, and how can I wipe away the contents of my Mini Mac from my MB Air?

Nobody here has any idea what Apple plans to do. You would need to ask them.
