Renaming a File

You can change the name of an individual file.

1. Clickin the Actions column to the right of an individual file name.
2. Select Rename.

   Avoid the use of the following special characters in a file name:
        % (percent)
        < (less than symbol)
        > (greater than symbol)
        \ (backslash) # (pound sign)
        ? (question mark)

   Certain file names may have non-ASCII characters that are 4 byte UTF8 characters (such as emojis). Wasabi does not support these characters and will return a 400 error message to an application that tries to write a file with 4 byte UTF characters in the file name. We recommend renaming the affected files, if possible.
4. Optionally, check the box to overwrite any existing file that uses the name to which you are renaming.
