Hope you have noticed this handy feature. If your Office files are stored on OneDrive, Teams or SharePoint, you can change the file name WHILE you are editing the file.
It is so simple, but extremely useful. From the title bar, open the dropdown next to the file name. The filename textbox is editable. Change the name and press ENTER. That’s it.
What else can you do here?
- See Version History
- Open the file on web location (OneDrive, SharePoint or Teams)
- Share a file (this can be done more easily using the Share button in the ribbon)
Rename not possible with older file formats
This is an XLS file. It opens in Compatibility Mode. Live Rename is not possible.
