The project name is a unique string included in the Urls to using the content in help and documentation systems. It can easily be renamed. However, do this with care because if the content is already active then probably people or applications are already using the HelpServer Urls. If you change the project name, then those Urls are no longer valid. There are two options to correct this.
Next steps explain how to rename a project.
Renaming a project
Popup the menu of the project folder and select 'Project > Rename'.
Assigning a new project name
Enter a new, unique project name and click 'OK'. Consider the project name guidelines.
If you specify a project name, consider the following guidelines.
| • | The name must be unique within the entire HelpServer system. |
| • | Keep the name meaningful but avoid using long names. |
| • | If the name consists of multiple words, use a '_' (underscore) or a '-' (hyphen) instead of blanks. |
| • | The project name cannot contain '.' (dot). |
| • | Translation is not applicable. |
A message box can popup as a reminder.

Rename correctly performed
A message box will confirm that the rename is correctly performed. The new project name is immediately active and all aliases are correctly processed and ready to be used. You don't have to publish anything. Should you have applied versioning then the new name is also active in older (inactive) versions of the project.
