You likely know you can change the name of a community at any time. What you may not know is that the name for a community's Discussion and Library will not automatically change as well; you must update them manually. Let's walk through how to update all three.
IMPORTANT: Community Admins and Super Admins can update a community's name. However, only Super Admins can rename a Discussion and Library.
If you're a Community Admin who has renamed your community, reach out to a Super Admin and request that they also rename your community Discussion and Library.
Change the community name
- From a community, click Settings > Settings.
- Update the Name field to change the community's name.
Change the Discussion name
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.
- Navigate to Community > Discussions > List.
- Click to select a Discussion in the list to display the Preview Panel on the right.
- Click the Discussion name at the top to enable editing. Update the name.
- Click Save at the bottom right of the Preview Panel to save your change.
Alternate Discussion email
If your users use the community-specific email address for Discussions, you can also set up an alternate email address as well.
In the same place you updated the Discussion name, you’ll see that there is a default connectedcommunity.org email address. Though the default email address cannot be changed, you can set an alternative email address by entering in the new name there.
Change the Library name
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.
- Navigate to Community > Libraries.
- Click to select the Library in the list to display the Preview Panel on the right.
- Click the Library name at the top to enable editing. Update the name.
- Click Save at the bottom right of the Preview Panel to save your change.
