By Impran M N
As organizations evolve, team names inside Asana sometimes need to catch up, and renaming one only takes a couple of clicks once you find the right menu. This guide covers locating your team in the sidebar, opening its settings, and updating the name and description without disrupting existing permissions.
01Find your team in the sidebar
Locate the target team within the left-hand sidebar navigation of your Asana workspace.
02Open the dropdown menu
Click the three dots dropdown menu next to the team name to reveal available options.
03Select Edit Team Settings
Choose Edit Team Settings to open the configuration pop-up for that team.
04Update the name and description
Type the new team name and update the description field for better team alignment.
05Save and verify the change
Save your changes and confirm the new name reflects correctly across the workspace, then review member permissions and privacy settings in the same panel.
Frequently asked questions
Does renaming a team affect project permissions?
The core permissions should remain intact, but it's worth reviewing member access and privacy settings in the same panel after renaming to confirm nothing shifted.
Will team members be notified when I rename the team?
Members may see the updated name reflected across the workspace, though this isn't typically treated as a major notification event.
Why can't I find the Edit Team Settings option?
This option can be restricted by admin permissions, so you may need workspace admin access to rename the team.
Can I undo a team name change?
Yes, you can simply repeat the same steps and revert to the previous name if needed, since there's no special lock on the field.
