# Rename Network

The rename network function can be activated by selecting the “Rename Network” item of the Network Menu or by right-clicking the title bar of the network. This brings up the “Rename Network” panel depicted in Figure 1.

Note, when working with OOBNs the name of the network must be unique within the OOBN. Furthermore, changing the name of a network instantiated in another network will change the name of the instance nodes derived from the network. Warning: if the name of such a network is changed without the network containing the derived instances being open, the OOBN will become corrupt. HUGIN will give a warning in that case, but if the warning is ignored, the network with the derived instances can no longer be opened!

The name of a network can also be changed by selecting the Save as item in the File Menu.
