 ### Changed
 - Merged the "Shared Annotations" tab into the "Annotations" tab in the user's dashboard. If annotations are shared with you, you can see them in your dashboard. The table can be filtered by owner if you prefer to see only your own annotations. [#6230](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/6230)
+- Changed the name of the volume annotation layer in tasks to be "Volume" instead of "Volume Layer". [#6321](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/6321)
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed that zooming out for datasets with very large scale was not possible until the coarsest level. [#6304](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/6304)
