**Example**

**Rename an existing folder to a new name at the specified path**\
\
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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/generic/file-and-folder-operations/rename-folder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
