Changing the project key

In SonarQube Server 2026.5, you can update the project key without losing the history of the project.

The project key can be updated as follows:

1. Retrieve your project. See Retrieving projects for more details.
2. Go to Project Settings > Update Key.

The new key must contain at least one non-digit character. Allowed characters are: a through z, A through Z, - (dash), _ (underscore), . (dot), : (colon) and the digits 0 through 9. This value is case-sensitive.
