Renaming Tag in Sourcetree?

Is it possible to rename an old Tag in Sourcetree? I have a few in our repo that were misnamed and wondered if they could be corrected.

Hi @Allen Huffman

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

In my experience, the underlying Git does not support tag renaming. I would use the sidebar to right-click the old tag and select Delete. Ensure you select the option to delete it from the remote repository as well. Next, right-click the commit where the tag belonged, select New Tag, type the corrected name, and click Add Tag. Finally, open the push menu, check the box for your new tag, and click Push to update your remote repository.
