Edit Generated Document Titles

There may be instances when you need to edit or override the generated title of a document in your Web collection to create a more relevant title, for example:

  • The title is missing a subtitle that can provide important details for user, such as a category, model number, or release date. For example, Product ABC User Guide, Release 1.2, is a more useful title than Product User Guide.

  • The title is too ubiquitous or commonplace to be useful, for example User Manual or White Paper.

  • The author of the document provided a different title from the generated title.

  • There are multiple documents or attachments with the same name.

Note: Only authors and other roles that have the proper entitlements to create and edit documents and collections can override document titles.
  1. Navigate to the Collection Setup page and then click on the collection in which the document resides.
    Note: You cannot edit the name of the collection itself. You can only edit or override titles of the documents and attachments within the collection.
  2. Select the document or attachment for which you want to change an existing title.
  3. Type the new title over the existing title.
  4. Click Save.
    The new title appears after the application runs nightly (or weekly) batch processing on the collection.
