the page renaming is usually not helpful. Most of the time it just calls it "page 1" and so on. When it does "kind of" work, i still have to edit the names and with my OCD it just causes more work at this point
That's unfortunate; it's one of my favorite tools in the program. I highlight the page name first, followed by the page number. I find that you will encounter issues if you try to do both simultaneously. I hope this is useful.
