553
+
554
+
#### **🔄 Apply the New Folder Names**
555
+
556
+
To actually rename existing folders:
557
+
558
+
1.**Go to the Series tab**
559
+
560
+
2.**Click the Mass Editor** (three sliders icon)
561
+
562
+
3.**Select the shows** you want to rename
563
+
564
+

565
+
566
+
5.**In the popup:**

568
+
- Click **"Save"**
569
+
570
+
6.**Sonarr will interpret this as a move** and apply the new folder naming format without physically moving the files—just renaming the folders.
571
+
572
+
#### **Example Result**
573
+
574
+
After applying the new naming format, your TV show folders will include TMDb IDs:
575
+
576
+
```
577
+
/tv/Batman [tmdb-2287]/Season 3/Batman - S03E17 - The Joke's on Catwoman Bluray-1080p [tmdb-2287].mkv
578

```
