The **Rename Folder** action renames an existing folder located at the given path (e.g.,**C:\sam;ProjectFiles;Updated file**). This helps organize files by updating folder names dynamically. The action status is saved in the **{Status}** variable with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the folder is renamed successfully
* **False** –if the folder does not exist, the new name is invalid, or the renaming fails
