How do I rename a TIA Portal project?

Best practice for renaming a TIA Portal project that is being tracked in Copia.

  1. Ensure that you have Auto-Archiving enabled in your Copia Desktop App
  2. Open the project in TIA Portal
  3. In TIA Portal click Project > Save As
  4. Save the new project with the new name in the same location in the repository as the previous project folder.
  5. Close TIA Portal
  6. Return to the Copia Desktop App. The Desktop App should have recognized the new project and Auto-Archived it. Make a commit with a description like "added the newly renamed project"
  7. Delete the entire old project folder 
  8. Return to the Copia Desktop App. You will see the following message. Select "Delete". This will delete the old .zapXX file that was associated with that project
  9. You should see that the .zapXX file for the old project name was deleted. Make one more commit saying something like "deleted old project name".
    1. Note: You don't need to have two separate commits. If you want, you can do Steps 6 -8 before committing

Renaming the project will treat it as an entirely new file, so you won't be able to see a diff between the two projects in Copia.
