How to rename an existing file in Google Drive, to another name?

How To
1

I am scanning a folder with files on Google Drive. Upon parsing, I want to rename the files to add a “.parsed” extension after, to show that these have been parsed.

There seems to be a "Rename Folder’, but there isn’t a “Rename File”. I tried the “Move File/Folder”, but this doesn’t allow you to change the filename.

The only way I thought was to Copy the File and delete the old one, but this seems like overkill. And, I would prefer not to do this to keep the same file ID, for linking purposes.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Regards,
Karl

Perhaps the “Update a File” module?

Oh wow, it never occured to me it could be named that way! And somehow various google searches & Make help querys, and never managed to encounter a link to that module.

Thanks for pointing out my silly overlook of this.
