+Change: Label for OcSelect
+
+We've added a configurable `<label>` for OcSelect accessible via the `label` property.
+This shadows the `label` property of `vue-select`. Hence we introduced the `optionLabel`
+property on OcSelect which maps to the `label` property of `vue-select`.

+### Use objects as options
+If we want to select from a list of option objects, we can use `option-label` to select the key of the object to use as label.
+
+```js
+<template>
+  <div class="oc-docs-width-medium">
+    <oc-select
+      label="Custom Label"
+      option-label="title"
+      :options="options"

+  {

+    desc: 'An apple is an edible fruit produced by an apple tree (Malus domestica)'
+  },
+  {
+    title: 'Bannana',
+    desc: 'Bannana is a genus of goblin spiders (family Oonopidae) native to Xishuangbanna prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, where it lives in the leaf-litter of tropical rainforest'
+  },
+  {
+    title: 'Orange',
+    desc: 'The orange is the fruit of various citrus species in the family Rutaceae'

 ### Using slots to display complex options
-Sometimes we need to display more complex options. This can include e.g. an option with a title and a description. To still display all those values exactly as we want to, we need to use scoped slot called `option`.
-We can then retrieve all the values that we want to display from the slots parametres. It is important to specify the `label` prop on the `oc-select` component which will specify which key should be used as the option label.
