Hi,
I created a 'home page' - the only one I've done so far - which I imagine is the Mainstack. Somewhere along my journey I tried to make another card with the name/label 'Docs', but what happened is the text 'Docs' is embedded in the Mainstack, top left of the stack, to the right of the blue LC logo. I don't know how it got there, or how I could change it (to CAsba). Any advice would be most appreciated.

Well, as my Philosophy professor said many years ago, "Forget trying to be 'all clever' and go back to first principles."

1. A stack consists of cards: so if you make a new card that will be in the topmost stack.

2. A stack can ALSO have substacks (which also consist of cards).

So, it might be my time "to imagine" (but, like playing chess, one can imagine away as much as one likes, but
you are still constrained by the rules of chess) . . .

1. You create a mainstack (let's call it "MyHome"),

and then

2. You create a substack of stack "MyHome" (let's call it "Docs"). :D

Sounds like you entered "Docs" in the inspector as the TITLE or NAME for the STACK!
In that case the TITLE or NAME, if no title, is displayed in the window title bar.

Please add a screenshot next time, seeing is believing! :-)
