When I right click there is no "Rename file from parent metadata"

I want to rename my original pdfs and it is suggested to use Rename file from parent metadata but when I right click it is not there!!
  • that only works when a PDF is attached to metadata. Either use Retrieve Metadata or (if that doesn't work) Create Parent Item...
  • which options do you have in the context menu?
    That option is only available for PDFs attached to parent items.
  • I have

    view pdf/view online/open external viewer/show file/add note/add attachment/duplicate item/move item to trash/export item/create bibliography from item/generate report from item

    in the options

    I have already done the "Retrieve Metadata" nad the name is correct in zotero but I want to change the name of the actual file or the one in zotero's library
  • you're right-clicking on the top level item. You need to right-click on the attachment.
  • Thanks a lot! I find it now.
