# Renaming Sitecore items does not update children clickable URIs
## Symptoms

When you rename a Sitecore item and then use the Publishing Service to publish the changes, the clickable URIs of the child items don't get updated in the Coveo indexes.

## Cause

The Publishing Service works like a Sitecore [Smart Publish](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/101/sitecore-experience-platform/publish-a-website.html#:~:text=Smart%20Publish,it%20is%20published.), meaning that only items whose revision number has changed get published.
When you rename a Sitecore item, only that item's revision number changes, not the revision numbers of its child items.
As a result, the child items don't get published, and their clickable URIs in the Coveo indexes continue to reflect the old parent item name.

## Resolution

There isn't a direct solution to this issue.

### Workaround

Implement a rule that, upon renaming a Sitecore item, automatically updates the `Revision` field of all its children (thus marking them as changed for the Publishing Service).
For example, you could create a custom class that handles the `item:renamed` event.
