How to Rename a Report in Google Analytics 4?

If you customize a standard report in Google Analytics 4 (e.g. by changing the default primary dimension), there’s a chance that the report’s name will be automatically changed too. And this might be inconvenient in some situations.

That’s why in this quick blog post, I will show you how to rename a report in Google Analytics 4.

How to rename a single report in GA4?

Standard reports are customized in the library. In your GA4 property, go to Reports > Library. In the list, find the report you want to rename.

Click the three dots next to it > Rename.

Enter a new name and click Save. Done!

But what if you want to rename other sections of the left sidebar? That’s where you need to get familiar with collections and topics (I talk more about them here)

How to rename the topic and collection in GA4?

In my other blog post on how to customize the GA4 reports, I introduce several new concepts (collections and topics). They are different ways how you can group reports.

If you want to rename a collection:

• Go to Reports > Library
• Click three dots in the collection’s card > Rename
  

If you want to rename a topic, the process will not be as convenient. You must scroll down (on the left sidebar) and click Create new topic.

Then enter the new name and drag all reports from the older topic to this new topic. Basically, we are creating a new topic instead of editing the old one (because I could not find another way).

How to rename an exploration in GA4?

If, on the other hand, you want to rename one of the reports in the Explore section, then go to Explore > find the report you want to rename > Click three dots > Rename.
