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

1. From a community, click Settings > Settings.

2. Update the Name field to change the community's name.

Change the Discussion name

1. In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.

2. Navigate to Community > Discussions > List.

3. Click to select a Discussion in the list to display the Preview Panel on the right.
4. Click the Discussion name at the top to enable editing. Update the name.
5. Click Save at the bottom right of the Preview Panel to save your change.

Default Email Subject

In instances where the community's associated Discussion has a Default Email Subject that includes the community's old name, you'll want to update that as well. In the example below, you can see "All Things Travel Community" is included in the subject, which we wouldn't want if the community's name has changed.

1. Just as above, click to select the Discussion and expand the Preview Panel on the right.
2. Update Default Email Subject title as appropriate.
3. Click Save at the bottom right of the Preview Panel.

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

1. In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.

2. Navigate to Community > Libraries.

3. Click to select the Library in the list to display the Preview Panel on the right.
4. Click the Library name at the top to enable editing. Update the name.
5. Click Save at the bottom right of the Preview Panel to save your change.
