Renaming multiple files at the same time

It’d be useful to rename multiple files at the same time on the site or app.

  • Hey DieMmePi, thanks for posting on our Community!

     

    Have you considered using the automation options to achieve this on a folder level perhaps?

     

    To achieve this, you'd need to put the files you'd like to rename in bulk in a single folder and set an automation rule to rename them. 

     

    Let me know if that helps with what you had in mind!
