The names of your albums and folders are important factors in both keeping your assets organized and easily accessible for your team. Whether you are creating a new album or folder, adding translations, or renaming existing ones, you should always follow best practices for organizing your library. Please see the article "Best Practices: Folder-Album Structure" for more detailed tips.
Update individual items
First, select the album or folder you want to rename in the folder tree. Next, click the button ① at the bottom of the folder tree.
Alternatively, after selecting the folder or album, click the button ② at the bottom of the folder tree to open the folder or album's detail page, then click the
icon ③ below the album or folder's thumbnail.
The "Manage Album/Folder Name" overlay shows a list of names, starting with the default name – identifiable by the missing language entry – followed by any available translations, each one showing the language it corresponds to.

Please note: The album and folder names in the library are based on the viewer's system language. If the user's chosen language does not have a matching translation, the default name will be displayed instead. Newly created albums or folders always include a translation, as Canto automatically adds the name chosen during their creation as both the default and translated version, based on the system language of the user who created to album or folder. |
You can now take the following actions.
Change a name
To change a name, click the icon on the right. You can now enter the new name in the text field, and change the assigned language using the drop-down-menu in the language column. Click the
button to confirm the new name.
Add a translation
To add a new translation, enter the new name in the text field above the list of names, then select the matching language from the drop-down-menu to the right. Click the "Add" button to insert the new name in the list.
Delete a translation
Find the name you want to delete in the list, then click the icon to the right. The default name cannot be deleted.
Once you are satisfied with your changes, click "Save" to close the overlay.
Update multiple items
You can update the names and transations of several folders and albums at once, by importing the new names into your existing folder structure.
Click your profile icon – by default this will be the symbol – to open the "Profile & Settings" menu, then select "Settings".
On the Settings page, select the "Configuration Options" tab, followed by "Folders & Albums" from the menu on the left. Next, click "Export As CSV" in the top right.
In the overlay, click "Library", then "Select".
Open the CSV file you receive via email, and open it in your prefered editor, such as Microsoft Excel. Adjust the names of the folders or add new translations and save the file.
Return to the "Folders & Albums" section of the Settings page, click "Import from CSV", and select the adjusted file. In the overlay, click "Library", then "Select". The albums and folders in your library will be updated with the new names once the import process is complete.
