Attached I marked project name which I want to rename. Regards, A less elegant solution that works for me is to do this in windows explorer: Step 0: Close the project in TIA Portal. Step 1: Rename the folder Step 2: Copy the folder name Step 3: Navigate to your portal project file in that newly renamed folder Step 4: Rename the portal file (.ap##, where ## is 10 for Portal V10, 11 for V11, 12 for V12) - use the paste option if you copied the folder name in step 2 above. Now open your new project by browsing to the new folder and project from within portal. I have found this to work fine, but it is not as safe and future-proof as "save-as" from the previous post. At some point, an update or service pack may change the project files in a way that makes this not work. Been working for a few years though through 10.5->11->12.

It is always better to use "save as" option for project rename to aviod any possibility of database corruption.
