# Renaming bookmarks

You can replace the long, unreadable names some bookmarks have with something more recognizable.

## To rename a bookmark:

Click the open-book icon. The bookmark list appears. The left column shows collections such as News and Sports, represented by folders. The right column shows individual bookmarks.

Click once to select the bookmark you want to rename.

Click a second time to select the bookmark’s name, and then type a new name.

You can also rename collections, except for Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, Address Book, Bonjour, and History.

You can’t rename the bookmarks in Address Book, Bonjour, and History.
