Google Cloud Platform: How do I rename a Google Cloud Platform project?

Question

Is it possible to rename a Google Cloud Platform project? If so, how?

I don't need to change the project ID or number. But I do want to change the project name (the name used by/for humans to identify a cloud platform project).

Thanks for any tips!

Answer 1

1. Use the hamburger menu in the top left to switch to the "IAM & Admin" section
2. Click Settings
3. Type the new name
4. Press Save
5. Reload the page

For those wondering how to change the project ID, the official documentation says:

A project ID cannot be changed after the project is created, so if you are creating a new project, be sure to choose an ID that you'll be comfortable using for the lifetime of the project.

Answer 2

The easiest way it to go via the hamburger menu in the top left > "IAM & Admin" > Settings. These are the screenshots to the Google Cloud Product Settings

Answer 3

You can change the project name using gcloud projects update command.

First of all, you need to get the associated project ID.

gcloud projects list

Here is the example command.

gcloud projects update your-old-project-id --name="New project name"

For more information please refer this official documentation.

Note: You cannot change the ID of a project's ID or Number,you can only change the Name.
