+## Choose the target index and its new name

+Decide which index you want to rename and keep note of its `uid`. This guide changes the name of an index called  `INDEX_A`.

+Also choose the new name you wish to assign the index. This guide uses `INDEX_B` for the new name of the index.

-An array of objects. Each object has only one key: `indexes`.
+An array of objects with the following fields:
 
-| Name           | Type             | Default value | Description                                |

+| **`indexes`**  | Array of strings | N/A           | Array of the two `indexUid`s to be swapped         |
+| **`rename`**   | Boolean          | `false`       | If `true`, renames an index instead of swapping it |
 
 Each `indexes` array must contain only two elements: the `indexUid`s of the two indexes to be swapped. Sending an empty array (`[]`) is valid, but no swap operation will be performed.
 
-<Note>
-You can swap multiple pairs of indexes with a single request. To do so, there must be one object for each pair of indexes to be swapped.
-</Note>
+Use `rename: false` if you are swapping two existing indexes. Use `rename: true` if the second index in your array does not exist.
