It's the object name and doesn't need to be changed, unless you want to identify it to make it easier to find on the robot, for example: "Copy File - Company Files".

It's an object unique identifier and doesn't need to be changed, but you can rename it if you want to find it more easily when using it on other objects. Just remember that this name must be unique and without spaces or special characters.
