Change the button "Update"

Using the _form.blade.php file to the create and update, the button create receive the title of Update instead of Create title. It is possible to change its title using laravel or blade ?

Hmm.. There are a couple of ways you could do this. A basic way would be to create a $submitButtonText variable in your controller, and pass this into your view. 

// for updating

return View::make("view.goes.here")->withSubmitButtonText('Update');

// for creating

return View::make("view.goes.here")->withSubmitButtonText('Create');

I start out by using 'Save' because it fits both :p

You could also move the submit button from the partial into the view and label them differently.
