Frequently asked questions
Can I rename any workspace in Loop?
Most workspaces can be renamed, but system-locked personal folders like 'My Workspace' may restrict custom title changes.
Will renaming a workspace break existing links to it?
Renaming a workspace's display title generally doesn't break the underlying link structure, but it's still good practice to verify shared links after a rename.
Does renaming a workspace update it for everyone right away?
Yes, clicking Update pushes the new title instantly across all connected team views.
Can I change the icon without changing the name?
Yes, the rename and style panel lets you update the title and the icon independently.
