# Rename a project file

Give an existing project file a clearer name without uploading a duplicate. Resolving the project and current filename first helps keep similar drawing revisions or reference documents from being confused.

Help me rename a project file. Ask for the project, current filename, and new filename. Find the exact file, preserve its extension, and prepare the rename for my approval.

## When to use it

A file has an unclear name or needs a more consistent revision or document label.

## What you need

The project identifier, an accessible file, the intended new name, and permission to manage that project's files.

## What you’ll get

- The matching file and a side-by-side view of its current and proposed names.

- A rename proposal that retains the original file extension.

## How to use it

Open the prompt in Millbase, sign up or sign in if needed, then review the editable draft before sending.

Include a revision identifier when useful, but do not change the extension to suggest a different format. Renaming a PDF or CAD file does not convert or edit its contents.
