Steps

An attachment can be renamed, or moved to another Page, from the "Attachments" tab of the Page holding it:

  1. Click "Move" on the row of the attachment.

    The Attachments tab with the Move action of one row highlighted

  2. Type the new name of the file in "New Attachment Name". To move the attachment to another Page, pick that Page in "New Attachment Location".

    The move attachment form with the New Attachment Name and New Attachment Location fields highlighted

  3. Tick "Create an automatic redirect" to keep the former address of the attachment working.
  4. Click "Submit". The attachment is listed under its new name, on the Page you chose.

FAQ

What does the automatic redirect do?

A request for the former address of the attachment is answered with the file at its new address, so a link written or bookmarked before the move keeps working. The box is not ticked by default.

Are the links to the attachment updated?

Yes: the Pages linking or displaying the attachment are updated to its new address as part of the move. The "Update links" box that turns this off is only shown to advanced users.
