  • Renaming a help category should preserve links, breadcrumbs, and customer-facing navigation.

When to use it

  • A help category name or URL needs to change.

Do it manually

  1. Find the current tag and all child tags.
  2. Decide whether only the display name changes or the slug changes too.
  3. Update the tag carefully.
  4. Check child category and article URLs.
  5. Add redirects or update links when a public URL changes.
