# Rename a semantic model

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

Complete the following steps to rename 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 you want to rename by completing the following sub steps: 
   1. In the **Semantic Models** list, navigate to the model you want to rename by searching or scrolling through the list. 
   2. Click **Open**. The model opens in the canvas. 
4. Click the model's name to enter edit mode. 
5. Enter in a new, unique name for the semantic model. 
6. Click **Save**. The semantic model is saved with the new name. 

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