How to change activity type?

I have not used Connect for a few months. There seem to be significant UI changes. How can I change activity type (e.g. from biking to running)? I have explored activities page for more than 10 minutes without success.

Open the activity you want to change. Click the drop down arrow to the right of CYCLING, then select RUNNING.

Or from Garmin Connect Mobile for Android or iOS, open the activity you want to change…

Thank you for the prompt answer. I am really embarrassed to tell you that I cannot figure out how to open an activity. This was another thing that I was trying to do to no avail before I posted my question. It must be very obvious, but happens to be at my blind spot.

Thank you so much. I got it. It is just what I said - very obvious, but I missed it. I clicked everything (the drop-down menu beneath the name, the edit button beside the name, Edit Activity Metrics) except the name itself. I am all set. Thanks a lot again.

The app has no drop down arrow. Why do you get advice?

From Garmin Connect Web, open the activity you want to change.

Or from Garmin Connect Mobile for Android or iOS, open the activity you want to change, then 3-dot menu, Edit Activity, tap Activity Type...

Same as my post above...

If you're still not able to change activity type, please open a new thread with screenshots of your issues, as this thread is 3 years old.
