<div role="main"><h1>Renaming a project</h1>

<p>You can rename a project, and have all references changed using the refactoring engine.</p>

<p>To rename a project:</p>

<ol>
  <li>In the C/C++ Projects view, right-click a project, and select <strong> Rename</strong>.
  <br>

  <br>
  </li>
  <li>The edit box is activated for the selected project. Type a new name.
  </li>
  <li>Press <strong>Enter</strong>.</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Note: </strong>
Renaming a project causes it to be re-indexed. 
This can take a significant amount of time for very large projects. The new name must be unique within the  workspace.
