Changing a filename?

Question

I searched outside the forum and it's extremely difficult to find anything that isn't using Lightroom Classic.

I searched inside the forum and found a bunch of old stuff from 2020...

I'm TRYING to do SOME things in Lightroom (for those times when I could use a basic image browser - Lightroom - instead of Lightroom Classic), and I have a couple dozen images I want to rename - just change the filename.

I figured instead of using Bridge, which is painfully slow these days, I'd hop into Lightroom (not Classic since the images are not in a LR catalog) and do the rename there. Unfortunately, I can't find the equivalent of the LR Classic Metadata where I can change the filename...

Since the whole point is to SEE the file as I'm changing the filename, making the changes in a file browser is poor, and not being able to change the filename in Lightroom makes that less useful than Bridge.

I presume I'm missing something obvious, but... I'll switch to Bridge to get this done this time, but how do I do a simple filename change in Lightroom?

You aren't missing anything,, unfortunately cannot rename in the Lightroom Cloud Ecosystem.

It's hard to disagree. Some really popular requests get overlooked for years.
