Renaming Google Sheets

Renaming Directly within the Document

This is the fastest way to change the name directly in the open document.

• Open the Google Sheets document you want to rename;
• In the top left corner, next to the sheet icon, find the current document name and click on it;
• Enter a new name (e.g., Weekly To-Do List) and press Enter.

Renaming through the File Menu

This offers more familiar management options, including renaming.

• Open the Google Sheets document you want to rename;
• In the top menu, click File → Rename;
• Enter a new name (e.g., Personal Goals) and press Enter.

Renaming via Google Drive

This is convenient if you want to quickly change the name without opening the file.

• Go to Google Drive at drive.google.com;
• Navigate to the My Drive tab;
• Find the Google Sheets file you want to rename;
• Right-click on the file and select Rename from the context menu;
• Enter a new name (e.g., Grocery Shopping List) and click OK.
