Renaming a File or Folder

To rename a file or folder:

1. Select the file or folder to rename by checking the items checkbox. Only one item can be renamed at a time.

2. Click the Rename icon
3. The Rename dialog will open showing the existing item name.

4. Type in a new name for the item.
Only letters (A to Z and a to z), numbers (0 to 9) and the symbols _ . - are permitted for a folder name. Spaces will be replaced with an underscore ( _ ) and other characters removed.5. Click the 'OK' button. An alert dialog will be displayed requesting a confirmation of the action as renaming a file or folder can break an existing link in a content item that uses the file / folder being edited.

6. The request is sent to the server and the dialog is closed.

7. If the request is unsuccessful, an error message will be displayed in the Manager dialog message bar.  An unsuccessful Rename request will generate the one of the following errors:

• A file of the same name already exists! - The new file or folder cannot have a name of a file or folder that already exists on the server. The new name must be unique.
• Unable to rename file! or Unable to rename folder! - This is a general error displayed when the the server is unable to rename the file or folder. Most commonly generated due to a permissions problem with the target item, ie: not writable.
• Invalid folder name, please choose another folder name. - The new name is the same as a reserved folder name.
