How to change the name of a note

Troubleshooting
1

What is the proper way to change the name of a note such that all the links in other notes are maintained properly?

2

Change the title? Or change the file name?
Probably this previous exchange helps?

3

I guess I need to change both (according to the link you provided).

4

Try it and see how you go :slight_smile:

As far as I know, you shouldn’t need to change the filename; changing the title should be sufficient.

It seems like you are right. I just changed the title (without changing the filename), and everything seems to work as wanted.

Happy that you got a solution you were looking for. I wasn’t sure by “change the name of a note” you meant title change or file name change.

Yeah, the titles dominate the file names. Filenames can be any random string of characters, as long as they’re unique it won’t matter. If sticking to a single title feels onerous, remember that there’s also the ALIAS property.
