ChangeWeb URL of a SharePoint List

Sometimes, you may want to change the Web URL of a list or library in SharePoint. Once you create a list or library in SharePoint, it gets its Web URL that you can use the view the list/library. This Web URL depends upon the title that you used for the first time. But changing the title later does not change the Web URL. Here are some simple steps you can use to change the Web URL.

1. Open the SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer. (You must be site collection administrator).
2. Click "All Files" tab at the bottom of the left hand navigation pane. This will show all files content on the right pane as shown below.
3. Click the Lists folder on the right pane. 
4. Click the list you want to rename. Don't click the List's link, but click in a white space of the List. The list will be highlighted in blue.
5. Click the Rename button on the top ribbon. 
6. The Web URL of the list is changed as you desired. But the URL will not be changed in the left navigation in your SharePoint site. Also change it manually.
