Faculty, staff and students may follow this guide to rename a site they are an Owner of.

Renaming a site

  1. Navigate to s.uconn.edu/sharepoint and click on the site you would like to delete.

  2. Once the site loads, it may be another few seconds before the settings gear appears at the top-right of the page. Click on this settings gear when it appears.

  3. In the list of settings, click on Site information.

  4. Remove the current site name and enter a new one.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Refresh the page to see your change.

It is possible for SharePoint sites to have the same name because it is their URL acts as their unique identifier. Exercise caution when creating multiple sites; SharePoint won’t stop you from creating sites with the same name.
