Missing file/folder rename option

In the Files app, where is the rename option for files and folders? Supposedly its on the long-press menu but its not there. I had to install a third party file manager to rename items.

Can't rename the folder in Finder? This is how I saw many one having trouble of rename folders in Finder. Some said they have to move it to the desktop to rename, others said they can only rename when it has just been created. It is very easy and i accidentally did this: WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF FOLDER, HOLD LEFT CLICK FOR 2 SECONDS, PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Hope it is useful for those who are having trouble. Have a nice day.
