Just click the names of the techs to get an edit box to rename them. The techs show the units and buildings they provide, so you can plan your tech tree out a lot more easily and quickly. You can edit the technologies in a visual interface just as they will appear in the in-game tech tree, creating connection paths to connect the techs together to define their prerequisites, and setting their options in the properties when they are selected.
