  3. Rename Method:

    • Using Icons: Click on the Rename icon, typically represented by a gear or pencil icon.
    • Right-Click Method: Right-click the file and select "Rename" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Confirm Renaming: After entering the new name, a confirmation window will appear. Review the details to ensure accuracy before clicking OK.

  5. Bulk Renaming: If renaming multiple files, select all desired files at once before proceeding with the rename action.

  6. Check File Location: Ensure the file's location is correct post-renaming and verify if any permissions or access need updating.
