How to rename a state
I haven't found a way to rename a state. I can duplicate, delete, or create a new one, but no button to rename an existing one.

Vincent,
At this point, there is no means of renaming a state, but here's a bit of a workaround. http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/14900/86387.aspx#86387
Renaming does sound like a great feature request! If you'd be willing, please chime in an let us know your thoughts:

Thank you Mike. I have submitted a feature request.

I see a request was submitted quite some time ago. Progress on when this will be added to 360?
Hi April!
While there isn't a way to rename a state in Storyline 360, you can duplicate the state and rename the duplicate.
Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see!

Would be more convenient to be able to rename a state than having to delete it and redo.

Thanks for chiming in and sharing what you would like to see in the software.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
I've attached this conversation to the report so that we can update you here when we can.

I think the software doesn't want us getting an error when renaming states. That's why the software offers the best solution by adding a duplicate feature. If you made a mistake, simply duplicate and write the correct State name as many of the heroes here suggested. I think no need a feature request at this time. Maybe when the dev team has nothing to do, we can request this feature. my 2 cents :).

I respectfully disagree, Daniel. If there is room for error with renaming a state, then why can we rename a variable without a problem? In my opinion, changing a variable can cause much bigger issues. (Of course, I did not develop the software, so maybe I'm wrong from that standpoint.) At least with a state, it's only on 1 slide, where the variable can be used throughout the entire course.
I'm in the middle of a building a course where it would cut down on development time dramatically if I could simply rename a state. Is what it is.. so feature request, here I come! ;)
