# Quickstart Insert Command
1. **Preview an insertion at the start of filenames.**
```bash
renamer insert ^ "[2025] " --dry-run
```
- Shows the prepended tag without applying changes.
- Useful for tagging archival folders.
2. **Insert text near the end while preserving extensions.**
```bash
renamer insert 1$ "_FINAL" --path ./reports --dry-run
```
- `1$` places the string before the last character of the stem.
- Combine with `--extensions` to limit to specific file types.
3. **Commit changes once preview looks correct.**
```bash
renamer insert 3 "_QA" --yes --path ./builds
```
- `--yes` auto-confirms using the last preview.
- Ledger entry records the position token and inserted text.
4. **Undo the most recent insert batch if needed.**
```bash
renamer undo --path ./builds
```
- Restores original names using ledger metadata.
