title: "Rename channels"

Anyone can rename the channels they belong to, unless the system admin has [restricted the permissions to do so using advanced permissions](/administration-guide/onboard/advanced-permissions).
|
|
|
|
<Tabs>
|
|
<TabItem value="web-desktop" label="Web/Desktop">
|
|
|
|
Select the channel name at the top of the center pane to access the drop-down menu, then select **Channel Settings**. You'll be prompted to provide two pieces of information:
|
|
|
|
- **Channel name:** The channel name that displays in the Mattermost user interface for all users. Enter a different channel name if needed or preferred.
|
|
- **Channel URL:** The web URL used to access the channel in a web browser. Select **Edit** to change the URL, and select **Done** to save your changes. If your system admin has enabled anonymous URLs (available in Mattermost from v11.6.0), channel and team URLs are assigned automatically and do not reflect the channel or team name.
|
|
|
|
When [channel category sorting](/administration-guide/configure/experimental-configuration-settings#enable-channel-category-sorting) is enabled (the default from Mattermost v11.8), channel admins can set a **Default category (optional)** for the channel. You can select an existing category, type a new category name, or clear the default category. Members who join the channel see it under that category in their sidebar.
|
|
|
|
For example, a channel could be named `UX Design` and have a URL of `https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/ux-design` (or an anonymous URL if enabled by your system admin).

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
5. You're prompted to provide three pieces of information:
|
|
|
|
> - **Name:** This appears in the Mattermost user interface.
|
|
> - **Purpose:** (Optional) Used to describe the channel's function or goal.
|
|
> - **Header:** (Optional) Used to include information relevant to the channel, such as key contacts or document links.
|
|
>
|
|
> Tap on **Save** to save the new channel name.
