Project settings

​
What this is for

Project settings is where you manage the project itself rather than the data inside it: change its name, copy its permanent reference, see its plan, size, region and status at a glance, and (for owners) delete it. A second tab, Compute and Disk, covers server size.

​
Before you start

  • Any member can look at the details.
  • Only an owner or admin can rename a project.
  • Only the organization owner can delete one.

​
Rename a project

1

Open Project settings

Choose Project settings in the sidebar. The page is titled Project settings with two tabs: General and Compute and Disk. You start on General.
2

Edit the name

In Project name, type the new name. It must be 3 to 60 characters. Extra spaces are tidied.
3

Save

Select Save (it reads Saving… briefly). The Save button stays disabled until you change something. A message says Project renamed.
Renaming changes only the label. The project’s reference, keys and data are untouched.

​
Delete a project

1

Find the Danger zone

On General, scroll to the red Danger zone card. It explains that deleting revokes all of the project’s API keys at once and that its sandbox data is kept for 7 days.
2

Start the deletion

Select Delete project. A panel titled “Delete (project name)” opens: “This revokes every key of the project now. You can restore the project for 7 days.”
3

Type the name to confirm

Type the project’s exact name in the box labelled “Type (name) to confirm”. Capital letters and spacing must match. The red Delete project button stays disabled until it matches.
4

Delete

Select Delete project (Deleting… briefly). A message says Project deleted. You can restore it for 7 days. and you return to the project list.
To bring it back, see “Deleted projects” in Projects.

​
What you’ll see

Under the name box is a table of facts: If you cannot rename, the box is disabled and a line reads Only an owner or admin can rename the project. If you cannot delete, the Danger zone reads Only an owner of the organization can delete a project.

​
Common questions

No. Your code uses API keys, which do not depend on the project name.
It is the project’s permanent identifier, the same in addresses and in the project switcher. It never changes.
All keys are revoked immediately. The sandbox data is kept for 7 days in case you restore, then permanently removed.
It is a safety check so that a stray click cannot delete a project.
Not from this page. The region is shown for information.
