    Hi Chris_Calli 

     

    When you create a Channel, the files tab creates a SharePoint repository for that channel. Updating the name within Teams does not update SharePoint. Within the files tab, click the globe in the top right corner and this will take you to the SharePoint document library where you can update the settings.

     

    It may take some time to reflect the change in Teams.

     

    Hope that helps!

rachelcackleberryHere is what I see when I try to update the Files sub-menu name in SharePoint. It says I need to change it in Microsoft Teams but as you can see the Channel Name in MS Teams is correct, it is just the sub-menu name that is stuck with the previous name...can you help? TIA
