Teams Channel folder and SPO folder rename

Question

Hi experts,

Is there is a solution to rename SPO folders in the doc library associated with a Team, to match the new name of the re-named associated channel without breaking the links and Posts/chat or any other app data?

Tried renaming the channel, then deleting it and renaming the SPO folder and then creating the channel to match with the SPO folder name to sync. But I lost all messages in the channel, chat/ app data. is there any other solution or script to update the SPO folder to match?
I'm aware that MS is rolling out the feature for new channel renaming that will update the SPO folder.

Thank you,

Regards,
MS

Hi @MS ,

Welcome to Q&A Forum!

The link below can help you solve the issue:

• Microsoft Teams - Renaming a Channel without Breaking the Link to SharePoint

Also note that you can't change the name of the General channel—that default channel is always called General and is always the first channel in the list.
