Update document content title

When you upload a document to the Media Library, Sitecore uses the file name to populate the Content Title field.

You can edit the Content Title, but this change is internal only. It does not change the file name, the document URL, or how the document appears on the website.

Use Content Title if your team wants a clearer internal label in the Media Library.

What Content Title does

• It provides an internal, editable label for the document.
• It can make documents easier to identify inside the Media Library.
• It does not affect how the document appears to customers.

What Content Title does not do

Editing Content Title does not change:

• The document URL
• The downloaded file name
• The browser tab title
• How the document appears on the site
• How the document appears in search
• How the document appears in insert dialogs

To change the URL or the downloaded file name, you must rename the item and republish in the content tree.
