Renaming multiple files at the same time

It’d be useful to rename multiple files at the same time on the site or app.

    Hey DieMmePi, thanks for posting on our Community!

     

    Have you considered using the automation options to achieve this on a folder level perhaps?

     

    To achieve this, you'd need to put the files you'd like to rename in bulk in a single folder and set an automation rule to rename them. 

     

    Let me know if that helps with what you had in mind!
