How do I change the name of my project?

Paratext projects have two names (see Project menu > Project Settings > Project Properties):

• Full Name: For example, “Hawaiian Pidgin Translation Project” (1)
• Short Name: For example, “hwc21” (2)

It is very simple to change a project’s Full Name, but more complicated/involved to change a project’s Short Name.

Instructions to make these changes are below.
