How to change the url of a document library in SharePoint

When you create a document library in SharePoint, normally both name and url will be same. If you put any space in the library name, that makes you trouble in url. In that case if you want to change the url,

1. Login as site collection admin.
2. Open the site in SharePoint Designer
3. Locate "All Files" from left hand navigation pane, which will open all folders in your site on the right.
4. Right Click on the list that you want to change the URL/Web Address for and choose "Rename"

Renaming the library will not make any change to the attached workflow, the Workflow history as well as version history will update with new url.

However, we have to re-save the List Title/Description/Navigation settings because the left nav link did not get updated. Open the new library url in browser. Go to library settings, click on List name ,description and navigation and do save.

Hope this helps..

Embed an Image into a SharePoint Designer Workflow Email

Here I am just sharing a quick tip to embed an image inside an email body

Below are the steps 

•  Upload the image to share point site. Here I  have uploaded the image to site collection images library

•  Open SharePoint Designer and create a workflow variable.

      Here the name is _VarImage, 

•  Add an action "Set Workflow Variable" 

• Select the variable from "Add or Change Look up". Then copy the url of the image from share point library and paste in the string buider as below
  
   

• Next, add a "Send an Email" action.  Open the "Define E-mail Message" window and select to "Add or Change Look up".  Select the workflow variable for which you just assigned a value.

When you are done, your workflow email should look something like this .

•  Save and publish the workflow.

After that ensure your email client is downloading images from Outlook. Add SharePoint email to the safe senders list. Then you will get a pretty image in your Outlook email.
