Not sure when this stopped being supported, but in the latest version ( `1.21.1` sorry, could not choose that version in the list above), I am unable to change the name of a connection. In the connections list, the only options I have are copy and remove. When I edit the connection, I don't have an option to rename it. Even when I create a new connection, I don't see any options to edit the name. |

dear @massimiliano.marcon as a "MongoDB Customer/public user" i canno t watch the video but it doesn't matter... i have the latest version 1.26.1, but also in the previous year the User Experience is near to awful (as @eliprandi said)
I always used to click the "Favorite ✯" and it works: it is moved in the Favorites section. but i never clicked again on the "favorite ✯" for a second time! (since you tell us this is the method...that is the second time "Favorite button" behave like a "rename button") Nobody in the world could find it in 10-20 minutes without google-ing But thanks for the info! |

daniele.amstelco@gmail.com what version of Compass are you using? Can you try to follow the steps in the video attached and see if that works for you? Jun-14-2021 18-15-34.mp4 |

NB If you simply click on " Favorite", you won't get a dialog to rename : you have to be connected first! (not in the first screen, but in the second one) sorry, but it's a nonsense @Marcon : @Liprandi is really really right! |

Thanks for the hint. As a UX engineer, let me just say it is far from being intuitive... |
