-Denote's file-naming scheme is not specific to notes or text files: it

([[#h:4e9c7512-84dc-4dfb-9fa9-e15d51178e5d][The file-naming scheme]]). While

+Denote provides commands to rename files and update their front matter
+where relevant. For Denote to work, only the file name needs to be in
+order, by following our naming conventions
([[#h:4e9c7512-84dc-4dfb-9fa9-e15d51178e5d][The file-naming scheme]]).
+The linking mechanism, in particular, needs just the identifier in the
+file name ([[#h:fc913d54-26c8-4c41-be86-999839e8ad31][Linking notes]]).
+
+We write front matter in notes for the user's convenience and for other
+tools to make use of that information (e.g. Org's export mechanism).
+The renaming mechanism takes care to keep this data in sync with the
+file name, when the user performs a change.
+
+Renaming is useful for managing existing files created with Denote, but
+also for converting older text files to Denote notes.
+
+Lastly, Denote's file-naming scheme is not specific to notes or text
+files: it is useful for all sorts of items, such as multimedia and PDFs
+that form part of the user's longer-term storage. While Denote does not
+manage such files (e.g. doesn't create links to them), it already has
+all the mechanisms to facilitate the task of renaming them.
