[`- (BOOL) navigationItem:(UINavigationItem *) navigationItem shouldEndRenamingWithTitle:(NSString *) title;`](/documentation/UIKit/UINavigationItemRenameDelegate-96g5t/navigationItem:shouldEndRenamingWithTitle:) Asks the delegate whether to continue or abandon the rename process. ### Handling the rename process [`- (NSString *) navigationItem:(UINavigationItem *) navigationItem willBeginRenamingWithSuggestedTitle:(NSString *) title selectedRange:(NSRange *) selectedRange;`](/documentation/UIKit/UINavigationItemRenameDelegate-96g5t/navigationItem:willBeginRenamingWithSuggestedTitle:selectedRange:) Tells the delegate when the rename process starts. [`- (void) navigationItem:(UINavigationItem *) navigationItem didEndRenamingWithTitle:(NSString *) title;`](/documentation/UIKit/UINavigationItemRenameDelegate-96g5t/navigationItem:didEndRenamingWithTitle:) Tells the delegate when the rename process ends. ## Relationships ### Conforming Types [`UIDocument`](/documentation/UIKit/UIDocument) [`UIManagedDocument`](/documentation/UIKit/UIManagedDocument) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
