MLPro | How to Rename a Project in Project Server 2013

There is a difference to rename projects that are connected to the server and projects that are not.

When a project is renamed without it being connected to the server, the change occurs smoothly. However, when the intention is to rename a project connected to the server it is necessary to follow a few steps:

First, by PWA:

Navigate to PWA > Project Center and click on the project you want to rename:

Check if the project is in editable mode if you are not clicking "Edit" within the Project tab. Then click "Project Details":
