What it does

Rename Files automatically renames the document files in a folder based on their content — for example giving each file a meaningful name derived from the document itself.

Where to find it

Excel ▸ Logiks Copilot tab ▸ Task ▸ Analyze ▸ Rename Files

How to use it

  1. Open the Analyze menu and click Rename Files.
  2. Choose the folder of documents to rename.
  3. Logiks Copilot proposes and applies content-based names.

Tips

  • Make a backup of the folder first — renaming is applied to the real files.
  • Great for tidying a messy folder of downloads or scans into meaningful, content-based names.
