If you don't provide a name, Plone will create one for you. Title: This is the title for the document, and it'll be shown throughout the site (for example, at the top of the page, in the search interface, in the title of the browser, and so on). This field is required. Description: Here you can write a short lead in to the document. This field is not required. Body text: In this part, you fill in the content of your document.
