NCBI Genome Workbench Sequence ID edit

Hi everyone. I hope this is a quick fix that I am just overlooking, but I need to edit the sequence ID for my sqn file in NCBI Genome Workbench. I cannot figure out where the program is getting the title from or I would edit it outside of Genome Workbench. Since this same sequence ID is being generated from all of my files originating from the same annotation software I am suspecting this may be either identical IDs generated by the software or lack of an ID that Genome Workbench is putting as a default. . The editing package is active and I can edit other parts of my file. I just can't find the option for this. Thanks in advance!

Update: I was able to edit the sqn file in VIM. Not sure why I didn't think about this earlier. The annotation software did indeed put a strange sequence ID (this was not a lack of ID as I thought previously) so I found it and replaced it. I will be using this method for now but if anyone knows how to edit the ID in genome workbench so I do not need to use two programs I'd still greatly appreciate the info!

ncbi workbench genome sequence

Have you tried to edit the header of the fasta file you are using? While I don't know NCBI genome workbench specifically it is likely getting that ID from the file name/fasta header. You can experiment with an example file.

Thanks for the suggestion! I double checked my files and the original fasta file I am using for submission into the annotation software has the desired header. The fasta file that was generated by the program containing the annotations also had the correct one. I even searched this file and the odd sequence ID is nowhere to be found. I am leaning more toward this being an issue of no ID within my sqn file now.
