Use this interactive demo to learn how to rename a document library in your SharePoint site.

Quick summary

Renaming a SharePoint site library is done through the Library Settings menu, accessible via the Settings icon in the top-right corner. This step-by-step process lets site administrators update a library name in just a few clicks without any advanced configuration.


Steps

  1. In the main dashboard of your SharePoint site, go to the left-side panel and click the site library you wish to rename.
  2. Click the Settings icon at the top-right corner of the page.
  3. Select Library Settings from the list of options.
  4. Click the Name field and replace the existing library name with your new library name.
  5. Click Save to apply the changes.
  6. Your site library name will be updated and reflected across the SharePoint site.

📌 Why this matters

Renaming a SharePoint site library helps teams keep their document management structure clear, organized, and aligned with evolving project or departmental needs. When library names accurately reflect their contents, users can locate files faster and reduce confusion across shared workspaces. This capability is especially valuable for SharePoint administrators managing multiple libraries across large Microsoft 365 environments. Keeping library names current improves overall intranet usability and supports better governance of collaborative content.
