Editing a project

  • While on the project dashboard page, click on the project settings on the bottom left corner of the page.

The project settings is composed of three sections which include:

  1. Project Details, which presents the meta data about a project
  2. Membership, which presents the owner and various members on the project with their specific roles
  3. Manage Project, which presents the project management controls such as updating, disabling and deleting a project.

On clicking the Update button under the Manage Project section you can choose to update details for your project.

Migrating a project

Project migration allows you to move an existing project from one server location (data center) to another within Crane Cloud.

  • To migrate your project, click on the project card.

  • While on the project dashboard page, click on the project settings on the bottom left corner of the page.

  • Under the General tab in the project settings, scroll to the Migrate Project section.

  • A form titled Migrate project to a different server location will appear.

  • Tick if it is a machine learning project.

  • Select the new Project Location from the dropdown menu.
  • Click the Migrate Project button to proceed.

Once clicked, the project and its deployments will be moved to the newly selected server location.

Important Notes

  • Environment variables are not saved by Crane Cloud during migration — they must be manually added again after the project is migrated.

  • App URLs will change — all app deployments within the project will receive new URLs based on the new server. Make sure to update any services or clients that depend on the old URL.

It is highly recommended to back up your environment variables and other critical settings in a safe place before initiating the migration process.

Disabling a project

  • On clicking the Disable button under the Manage Project section, a modal appears prompting you to confirm your action which will put a pause to all project resources.

Deleting a project

  • On clicking the Delete button under the Manage Project section, a modal appears prompting you to go ahead retype the project name after which the delete button will be enabled for you to continue to delete the project.

Once you click the delete button, you will be unable to recover the deleted project.
