Project settings
Rename a project and set its coordinate and measurement systems.
Overview
Project Settings let you rename a project, change its category, or switch coordinate and measurement systems. Only Administrators and the project's Project Manager can edit these settings.
Opening Project Settings
- On the home screen, click ⋮ on the project card and select Settings. The Project Settings panel slides out from the right.
What You Can Change
Field
Notes
Project name
Renames the project; locations, datasets, and shares are preserved.
Project categories
Updates the icon and label. Options: General, Drone, Survey, Mobile Mapping, GIS.
Coordinate system
The project EPSG. Changing this does not re-project existing data — see warning below.
Measurement system
Metric, Imperial, or Imperial US. Affects distances, areas, and volumes in the Data Viewer.
Saving Changes
Click Save. Changes take effect immediately. Click Cancel or ✕ to discard.
Warnings
⚠️ Changing the coordinate system does not re-project existing uploads. New uploads must match the new CRS; delete and re-upload affected datasets if needed.
⚠️ Renaming a project preserves shares, but URL-slug bookmarks or external links may break (ID-based direct links still work).
Other Options on the Project ⋮ Menu
- Share — give other users access (see Sharing Projects & Locations)
- Delete — permanently remove the project and all its data (cannot be undone)
- Display Project Dashboard — open the project's dashboard view
- Export Project Settings — see Exporting Data
