There is no need to resend books. Changing the template will change the name for future transfers. Books already transferred will keep the old name and remain "attached" to the associated book in the calibre library. If for some reason you resend a book and assuming you checked the "Replace existing book files" option then the book file will be renamed at that point.

Thanks for your help,

Andrea

You are welcome.
