Change the wp-content folder name before to start a new website

Hi Guys,

I have a question that maybe is not a GeneratePress focused question, but a general question:

What happen If I change the name of the wp-content folder before to start working on a new website?

Usually on my sites I always use GeneratePress, could this be a problem?

I need to do this because a client needs a re-design but he want to keep the same file structure from the old website where all PDFs and documents are in the "assets" folder.

Can I do the same on WordPress?

Thanks
Antonio
