[[Image:changeventype.png|right|thumb|200px250px|Fig. z4.z 6 Change type]]
This tool allows all the events of a certain name to be renamed to a new name.
===<u>Sort Events</u>===
[[Image:Sortevents.png|right|thumb|200px250px|Fig. z4.z 7 Sort Events]]
Events appearing on the Event tab on a Person or Family Editor are not sorted in any particular order other than the order that the events were added. The reason for not enforcing any particular ordering, particularly ordering by date, is to allow for the situation where an event was known to have happened but the exact chronology is not. Importing or merging data from an external source can lead to extra events being added to, but out of sequence with, the existing set of events of a person or family.
