# How to Rename a File

> Steps to rename a file in the GC AI Files sidebar, plus who can rename a file and what stays the same.

To rename a file in GC AI:

1. Open the **Files** tab in the right sidebar.
2. Find the file. Search for it by name, or open the folder that contains it.
3. Right-click the file, or select the three-dot menu (⋮) next to it, and select **Rename**.
4. Type the new name and select **Rename**.

The file extension stays the same. For example, a `.docx` file must keep `.docx` at the end of its name.

## Who can rename a file

* You can rename any file in **My Files**.
* In **Organization Files**, only the person who uploaded the file can rename it.
* For a file shared with you, you need edit access.

If you cannot rename a file, the **Rename** option is unavailable. Ask the file owner to rename it.

## What stays the same

* The file contents do not change.
* If the file is attached to the message you are writing, the attachment shows the new name.

To rename a folder, right-click the folder and select **Edit Folder**.
