Change the file name of a standalone project

If you have a standalone project, saved to your local computer or a network drive as an .nvp file, you cannot  change the file name of the project from within NVivo—use the Windows file system to locate and rename the .nvp project file.

NOTE  You can view the file name within NVivo in the Project 's Properties (General tab).
