Owners of SharePoint sites may rename their site. 

## Renaming a site

1. Navigate to [s.uconn.edu/sharepoint](http://s.uconn.edu/sharepoint) and click on the site you would like to update.
2. Once the site loads, it may be another few seconds before the settings gear appears at the top-right of the page. Click on this settings gear when it appears.
3. In the list of settings, click on **Site information**.
4. Remove the current site name and enter a new one.
5. Click **Save**.
6. Refresh the page to see your change.

> ⚠️ It is possible for SharePoint sites to have the same name because it is their URL acts as their unique identifier. Exercise caution when creating multiple sites; SharePoint won’t stop you from creating sites with the same name.
