# New Post Type Labels in 4.7

In WordPress 4.7, two additional labels have been made available for custom post
types. These get passed in via the `labels` argument when using `[register_post_type()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/)`.
The following labels are new:

 * `view_items` – The post type archive label used in the toolbar on the edit screen.
   Default “View Posts” / “View Pages”. See [#34113](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34113).
 * `attributes` – The label used for the title of the post attributes metaMeta Meta
   is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the 
   team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.
   box (used to select [post type templates](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/11/03/post-type-templates-in-4-7/)).
   Default “Post Attributes”/ “Page Attributes”. See [#18375](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18375).
