Renaming an item does not affect links or references to the item because those references are based on the item's unique ID number, which does not change.

  1. In the menu bar, click Assignments › Folders.

    Alternatively, open the My Files window when editing an assignment, question, or announcement.

    From this page:

    Do this:

    Question Editor

    Click My Files in the Page Tools panel.

    Assignment Editor

    Click Include File for the Instructions.

    Communication Home

    Click My Files to the left of your announcement text.

  2. Navigate to the item you want to rename and select its check box.

  3. In the Modify Selected Items list, select Rename.

  4. Type the new name for the item and click OK.

Your item is renamed. Any references to it now use the new name. This includes both current and past classes and assignments.
