Renaming and updating items

Changing names is useful when teams use new naming standards.

Rename files or folders

1. Select the item.

2. Click Rename.

3. Enter a new clear name.

4. Save and verify links if the item is already shared.

Name update rules

• Keep extensions with the file extension intact.
• Use consistent date/project prefixes.
• Avoid changing names of already published links unless necessary.

Bulk updates

For many items, update in small groups and check result after every few changes.

When to avoid renaming

• If external collaborators rely on a shared link.
• If your workflow depends on strict old filenames.

Recovery from mistakes

You can quickly create a corrected copy before renaming again and continue from there.
