## Rename folder

`PATCH /v1/folders/:id`

Renames a folder. Accepts only the `name` field. To move a folder to a different parent, use [`POST /v1/folders/:id/moveto`](./moveto.md).

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|-----|:-----:|----------|
| `id` (path) | number | yes | Folder ID. List: `GET /v1/folders` |

## Request fields (body)

| Field | Bitrix24 | Type | Required | Description |
|------|----------|-----|:-----:|---------|
| `name` | `NAME` | string | yes | New folder name |

The `parentId` and `code` fields are immutable — passing them returns `400 READONLY_FIELD`. To move a folder to a different parent, use [`POST /v1/folders/:id/moveto`](./moveto.md).
