 * Is it possible to rename a table, or do I just duplicate the entire table under
   a new name? Or…what?
 * I am turning current tables on pages into archived by year table/pages, and then
   editing the current table/page for the New Year.
 * Thanks for your wisdom on the best method to use.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You can simply change the table name and/or table ID on each table’s “Edit” screen.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Oh yes, I see it now – just click the arrow to the right of Table Information.
 * I just missed it.
 * Thank you
