# How do I change my world's name?

# How do I change my Valheim world's name?

Currently, we do not support changing your world's name directly on the server dashboard. 

You need to do one of the following workarounds:

### Renaming an existing world with progress
If you want to rename your world and have existing progress, we recommend that you do the following workaround:
* Download your current world backup from the server dashboard
* After downloading your current world backup, you should have two files ending with a .db and .fwl extension.
* Rename these files to your desired world name. Make sure you don't remove the .db and .fwl extension, as not including these will cause world upload to fail!
* Upload your world through the server dashboard.
* Once your world is uploaded, load it to your current server though the world management menu in the server dashboard!

### Uploading a new world
If you don't mind starting with a new world seed or don't mind losing your progress, you can always create a new world name and upload that one!
* Create a new Valheim world through Single Player
* After creating a new Valheim world, exit your game and navigate to where Valheim stores its local saves. As of writing, it is usually saved in `C:/Users/[your windows username]/AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/worlds`.
* Once you're in the Valheim worlds folder, look for your newly created world's .db and .fwl files. 
* After finding your world's .db and .fwl files, upload them to your server through the "Upload New World" button located in your server's dashboard.
* Once your world is uploaded, load it to your current server though the world management menu in the server dashboard!
