How can I rename a library in SharePoint?

Due to some testing with a failing copy flow, I have discovered that I need to rename a few libraries to get the flow to work properly with the requirements my clients have settled on. Is it possible to rename a library? I also need to edit the Web Address in List Information.

  • For anyone that finds this now it's a little different! (might not be the right way but it works)
    Select the cog on the top right > site contents > hover over the library you want to change and click the three vertical radio buttons > settings > under "General Settings", there is "List name, description and navigation" here you can change this :)

    Yes, just go to Site Contents, click the 3 dots next to library, select Settings then select List name, description and navigation and change the name.

      Thanks Rob, I was just about to edit this - I actually need to change the Web Address in List Information.

        As so often happens with SharePoint, the internal name remains the same and you can't change that.
