# Can I rename my project or organization?

> Rename your project or organization from the dashboard, and learn why subdomains and organization slugs require deleting and recreating instead.

You can change some names in Mintlify at any time. Others are fixed when you create them:

* **Changeable**: your organization's name, your project's name, your docs site name in `docs.json`, and your custom domain.
* **Fixed**: your project's subdomain and your organization's slug. Changing either requires deleting and recreating.

## Rename your project

The project name is the display name for your project in the dashboard. To change it:

1. Go to the [General settings](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/project/general) page in your dashboard.
2. In the **Project name** field, enter the new name. Names must be 3 to 100 characters and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.
3. Save your changes.

Renaming the project requires permission to update the project. If the field is disabled, contact an admin of your organization. See [Roles and permissions](/docs/dashboard/roles).

## Change your project's subdomain

Your subdomain identifies your project. It appears in your `<subdomain>.mintlify.app` URL and in your dashboard URL, `app.mintlify.com/<org>/<subdomain>`. You cannot change the subdomain after you create the project.

To use a different subdomain, create a new project with the name you want, then delete the old one:

1. Create a new project connected to the same repository.
2. If you use a custom domain, remove it from the old project, then add it to the new project. See [Custom domain](/docs/customize/custom-domain).
3. Delete the old project from the **Danger zone** section of the [Organization](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/general) settings page. See [Delete a project](/docs/deploy/deployments#delete-a-project).

<Warning>
  Deleting a project is permanent and removes all project data, including analytics history and any associated preview deployments. Dashboard settings do not transfer to the new project, so reconfigure them after you create it.
</Warning>

## Rename your organization

The organization name is the workspace display name shown across the dashboard. To change it:

1. Go to the [Organization general settings](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/general) page in your dashboard.
2. In the **Name** field under **Workspace**, enter the new name.
3. Select **Save**.

Renaming the organization requires permission to update the organization. If the field is disabled, contact an admin of your organization. See [Roles and permissions](/docs/dashboard/roles).

## Change your organization's slug

Your organization's slug is the unique identifier that appears in your dashboard URL, `app.mintlify.com/<org>/<subdomain>`. You cannot change the slug after you create the organization. To use a different slug, create a new organization and recreate your projects in it. Then delete the old organization from the **Danger zone** section of the [Organization](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/general) settings page. Deleting an organization is irreversible and requires the [admin role](/docs/dashboard/roles).

## What your readers see

Your subdomain and organization name are rarely visible to readers, so you may not need to rename anything:

* The site name displayed on your docs comes from the [`name` field](/docs/organize/settings-reference#name) in `docs.json`. You can change it at any time.
* The URL readers visit can be a [custom domain](/docs/customize/custom-domain) like `docs.example.com`, which you can add or change at any time.
