**Tip:** {% data reusables.organizations.owners-and-admins-can %} rename a repository. {% data reusables.organizations.new-repo-permissions-more-info %}
**Note:** {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} will not redirect calls to an action hosted by a renamed repository. Any workflow that uses that action will fail with the error `repository not found`. Instead, create a new repository and action with the new name and archive the old repository.
