# Rename file

If you need to rename a file, follow these steps

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Files added to posts, meetings or agendas can only be renamed from the folder where they are stored. This means you need to rename the file from the [post attachments folder](/using-hippoly/files-and-folders/post-attachments-folder.md) or the [meeting folder](/using-hippoly/files-and-folders/meeting-folders.md), depending on where it was added.

If the file was linked to a post, meeting, or agenda from another folder, you must go to **that original folder** to rename it. 
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to `Files` in the main menu. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Go to your file and click the `Menu-icon`  to the right of the file name. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the `Rename` menu option.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.hippoly.com/using-hippoly/files-and-folders/rename-file.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
