Overview
Renaming a map makes it easier to find, organize, and identify your work later. Whether you're updating a project name, clarifying a topic, or replacing a temporary title, Mindmup lets you rename maps at any time.
You can rename a map directly from the editor or from the Home page without opening the map.
How to use it
Rename a map from the editor
- Open the map you want to rename.
- Click the map title at the top of the editor.
- Enter the new name.
- Press Enter or click outside the title field to save the change.
Rename a map from the Home page
- Go to the Home page.
- Find the map you want to rename.
- Click the Actions (three-dot) menu next to the map.
- Select Rename.
- Enter the new name and confirm the change.
Example use cases
You might rename a map when:
- A project changes direction or scope.
- You want to replace a temporary title such as "Untitled Project."
- You're organizing maps for a class, team, or client.
- You need a clearer name to make searching easier.
- You're creating multiple versions of the same project and want to distinguish them.
Tips
- Use descriptive names so maps are easy to find later.
- Include project names, subjects, or dates when managing many maps.
- Establish a consistent naming convention if you're working with a team.
- Rename maps as soon as their purpose becomes clear to keep your workspace organized.
Common questions
Does renaming a map affect its content?
No. Renaming only changes the map's title. All topics, notes, attachments, and formatting remain unchanged.
Can I rename a shared map?
If you have permission to edit the map, you can rename it.
Will renaming a map change its sharing settings?
No. Renaming a map does not affect sharing permissions, published links, or collaborators.
Can I rename a map more than once?
Yes. You can change a map's name whenever needed.

Ready to rename your maps?
Take a moment to review your existing maps and make sure their names clearly describe their purpose. A good title can make it much easier to find the right map later, especially as your collection grows.
If you're starting a new project or revisiting an older one, try giving your map a clear, descriptive name that will still make sense weeks or months from now.
