-
Select the project in your community or on the DataSphere home page in the Recent projects tab.
-
To change the project name or description, click to the right of its current name. In the window that opens:
- Name: Specify the project name.
- Click Add description to add a description, if required.
- Click Save.

To change other settings, go to the Settings tab.
