To rename a stack in Procreate, open the stack from the Gallery and tap its title at the top of the screen to show the keyboard, then type the new name and confirm with the keyboard’s return or dismiss action. This is the single, verified method for renaming a stack in Procreate, there is no separate Rename button or long-press menu documented for this task.
How to rename a stack in Procreate
All stacks are named “Stack” by default when created. The only way to change that name is directly from the Gallery view. Follow these steps:
- Open Procreate and go to the Gallery.
- Open the stack you want to rename by tapping it.
- Tap the title at the top of the screen. The on-screen keyboard will appear.
- Type the new name, then confirm by tapping the keyboard’s return or dismiss action.
Renaming a stack is only a label change in the Gallery. It does not affect the artworks stored inside the stack.
