Change the title and URL of a course catalog

With the LMS365 API endpoints you can change the title and URL of the course catalog.

This function is helpful, for example, when you have created a course catalog with trainings on your test environment and now you are planning to move it to the production. In this case, you need to change the course catalog URL and probably you would like to change the course catalog title as well.

Change of the catalog title and URL involves two steps: rename of the existing catalog in SharePoint and rename of it in LMS365. This article describes these two steps.
