## Blueprints now support custom filenames and paths

Blueprints (Render's [infrastructure-as-code model](/content/docs/infrastructure-as-code/index.html)) now support custom filenames and paths for YAML configuration files. Previously, Blueprints required a file named `render.yaml` in your repository's root directory.

You can specify a custom path when creating a new Blueprint in the [Render Dashboard](https://dashboard.render.com/):

Setting a Blueprint file path in the Render Dashboard

You can also update an existing Blueprint's file path from its **Settings** page.

If you don't set a custom path, Render defaults to using `render.yaml` in your repository root. Learn more in the [documentation](/content/docs/infrastructure-as-code#setup/index.html).
