1 Tech Tip

Bulk-rename files

Stop renaming one file at a time. Batch it, keep things ordered, and make your folder look professionally organized.

Mac (Finder)

1. Select the files (Shift-click for a range, ⌘-click for picks).

2. Right-click → Rename…

3. Choose:

   1. Replace Text — swap parts (e.g., final → v2)

   2. Add Text — prepend “Board – ” or append “ – Draft”

   3. Format — set a base name + automatic numbers (Name and Counter/Index/Date)

Mac pro tips

• Sort first (by Name/Date) — that order is how numbers apply.

• Use Format → Name and Counter to get 01, 02, 03…

• Don’t edit file extensions; leave .pdf, .pptx intact.

Windows (File Explorer)

1. Select files in the order you want numbered.

2. Press F2, type a base name (e.g., Board Packet), press Enter.

   → Windows auto-numbers: Board Packet (1).pdf, Board Packet (2).pdf, …

Windows pro tips

• Control the numbering by Ctrl-clicking files in the exact sequence before pressing F2.

• Need leading zeros? Name them with counters in a second pass (or use PowerToys “PowerRename” if you have it).

For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.

Thank you for reading!

With the holiday season in full effect, I’m curious:

I’ll catch you next Thursday~
