Rename Current Subsite

Rename Current Subsite changes the CommonSpot name and underlying directory for the current subsite. Access this option by clicking the option in the center panel of the Subsite Administration dashboard. Note that this option is not available for the root subsite.

Use Rename Current Subsite when you need to change a subsite URL. This dialog correctly reassigns all related files and child subsites under the new name and maintains all logical associations. Note that because this process can be very resource-intensive, it's best to initiate renaming operations during off-peak hours, with authoring disabled. To protect your data, first create a site backup.

Note that you cannot change the subsite parent.

New Name: Enter a new CommonSpot name for this subsite.

Current Name: Displays the name CommonSpot now uses for the subsite.

Description: Optionally enter a new description.

Display Name: Optionally change the name displayed for the subsite in dynamically generated Elements (such as Breadcrumbs). If you leave this field blank, the Breadcrumb Element does not display this level within the breadcrumb hierarchy. You can also use the Subsite Name option to change display name.

Click Rename to change the subsite name and update all related files, or click Cancel to exit without changing.
