# Rename a conversation

> PATCH /v1/api/conversations/{id} - participant renames the
conversation. A non-empty title is pinned (title_is_custom = true) so
the title.derive worker never overwrites it; an empty title clears
both so the conv falls back to auto-derivation. Admin-view callers
are intentionally NOT allowed to rename someone else's conv (this is
a participant action), so we require default-view access.
