How to rename an output in Assist
When Assist creates something for you — a document, a deck, an image, an app — it saves it as an output inside your project. The default name is often something generic like "New output," which makes it hard to find later. Renaming it takes seconds and keeps your project tidy.

- How to find the rename option on the project page
- How to confirm the new name so your teammates see it straight away
- What to do if the rename option isn't showing up
Quick recap: what's an output?
An output is any document, deck, image, or app that Assist generates from a template and saves inside a project. Think of it as a finished file sitting in your project's library — you can open it, share it, and, of course, rename it.
Before you start
- The output must already live inside a project. If it hasn't been moved into a project yet, scope it to one first — then come back here to rename it.
- You need Creator or Admin access on that project. Viewers can read outputs but can't rename them.
How to rename an output
- Open Projects from the left-hand navigation.
- Select the project that contains the output you want to rename.
- On the project page, find the output in the project's outputs list.
- Open the more options menu on that output's row (usually a ⋯ icon).
- Select Rename.
- Type the new name, then press Enter or click Save to confirm.
- The new name updates immediately — everyone with access to the project will see it straight away.
Worked example
Say you asked Assist to draft a campaign brief and it saved the result as "New output" inside your Q3 Marketing project. A week later, you're back in the project and can't tell which file is which. Head to Projects, open Q3 Marketing, find the output in the list, and open its more options menu. Select Rename, type Q3 launch brief — v2 , and press Enter. The output now shows that name in the project list, making it easy to spot — and easy for your teammates to find too.
Tips & common pitfalls
Can't find the Rename option?
You're probably viewing the output itself, not the project page. Close the output and go back to the project — the more options menu lives on the project page's outputs list, not inside the output.
Output isn't in a project yet?
Move it into a project first by scoping the chat to a project (or using the project selector). Once the output is saved inside a project, the rename option will be available.
Teammates still see the old name?
A quick browser refresh usually fixes it. The rename happens instantly on the server, so it's almost always a display lag on their end.
Renaming doesn't change the chat title?
That's expected. The chat that originally created the output has its own name, separate from the output. If you want the chat renamed too, do that independently.
Don't have permission to rename?
You'll need at least Creator access on the project. If you only have Viewer access, ask a project Admin or Creator to rename it for you, or ask them to upgrade your role.
