# Named responses

Responses may be reused with [reference objects](/learn/openapi/openapi-visual-reference/reference).

Responses can be defined explicitly for reuse in the components section.

See:

- Used in [Responses Map](/learn/openapi/openapi-visual-reference/responses).
- Composed of [Response Object](/learn/openapi/openapi-visual-reference/response).


## Visual

The named responses are intended for reuse by reference.
See visualizations of responses in the [Response Object](/learn/openapi/openapi-visual-reference/response) and [Responses Map](/learn/openapi/openapi-visual-reference/responses) topics.
