Give a list or a segment a new name to make it more relevant or meaningful

Light Bulb IconDid you know? We're in the process of making improvements to our contact management experience and rolling them out to our customers. If your Lists table looks different, view this article for renaming a list instead.

 

The names of your lists and segments are important! The names you use give you an idea of which contacts are on your lists or segments and what kind of content you should be sending to them. Your list names are also visible on your sign-up forms and give your contacts a better idea of the content they'll receive when they join.

  1. In the menu on the left-hand side, click Contacts > Lists and segments.
  2. (Optional) Search for the list or segment you want to rename.
  3. Click the three dots next to the list or segment and click "Rename."

    Contacts menu expanded with Lists and segments option selected, Lists and segments page with Your lists table, Search field and List types drop-down menu options, and list with menu expanded and Rename option selected

  4. Enter the new name into the List name field. There is a 255 character limit for both lists and segment names. A name can't be used for more than one list or more than one segment, but a list and a segment can share the same name.
  5. Click Save.
