# Rename a cube

You can change the name of a cube to a new, unique name. 

Complete the following steps to rename a cube in a semantic model: 

1. Log into the **Pentaho User Console** (PUC).  
2. Open the Semantic Model Editor by taking one of the following actions:

   * If you are using the Modern Design of PUC, in the menu on the left side of the page, click **Semantic Model Editor**.
   * If you are using the Classic Design of PUC, click **File** > **Semantic Model Editor**. 

   The **Semantic Model Editor** opens. 
3. Open the semantic model that contains the cube you want to rename by completing the following sub steps: 
   1. In the **Semantic Models** list, navigate to the model you want to open by searching or scrolling through the list. 
   2. Click **Open**. The model opens in the canvas. 
4. On the canvas, locate the cube that you want to rename.  

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>Note:</strong> To locate an element in a large semantic model, you can click the <strong>Model Structure</strong> tab and then navigate to the element by searching or scrolling through the list. </p></div>
5. Click the cube name to enter edit mode.&#x20;
6. Enter a new, unique name for the cube.&#x20;
7. Click **Save** to save changes to the model.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: By changing the name of the cube, previous existing reports built using this cube from this model will no longer work, be cautious doing this action.
{% endhint %}
