Renaming Documents/Folders

You can change the name of a document/folder in a library.

In addition, refer to the following as necessary.

Select a folder to rename in the Navigation Pane or File List View Pane, and then click the [File] menu > [Rename].

Or, right-click and select [Rename].

The document/folder name becomes editable.

Rename the document/folder.

Note
When you attempt to rename the document displayed in the preview mode or the folder that contains a document being previewed, the preview display mode will be exited. When you rename a document checked out from a Document Server Library or SharePoint Server Library, and then click anywhere other than the renamed document in the File List View Pane to deselect it, the document will be checked in automatically. When you check in a document in a Document Server Library or SharePoint Server Library for which [Create Version] is enabled, the [Enter Version Comments] dialog box is displayed. You can set the [Enter Version Comments] dialog box to not display. For more information, see the following. Not Displaying the [Enter Version Comments] Dialog Box
