# renameFile

An intent schema that renames an existing file or folder.

## Declaration

```swift
var renameFile: some AppSchemaIntent { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion To make your app’s actions available to Apple Intelligence, conform your AppIntent to a schema that describes your action to the system. If your app’s functionality aligns with the files domain and one of your app’s actions matches the renameFile schema, you can generate the properties and protocol conformance the schema requires for your intent implementation with the @AppIntent( .files.renameFile) Swift macro. To make your app work with Siri, see Apple Intelligence and Siri AI. The following example shows an intent that conforms to the renameFile schema: @AppIntent(schema: .files.renameFile) struct RenameFileIntent {     var target: <#FileEntity#>     var newName: String

func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {         <#code#>     } } The schema supports the following system experiences: Siri Shortcuts For more information about the App Intents framework and the experiences it supports, see Getting started with the App Intents framework.
