Edit a project

This document describes how to edit an existing Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped project. There are a subset of configurations for your project that can be updated after creation, such as project name, billing account, and data exfiltration protection. You can update these configurations as your usage of the project evolves.

This document is for audiences such as IT administrators, security engineers, and network administrators within the platform administrator group, who are responsible for managing resources within their organization. For more information, see Audiences for GDC air-gapped documentation.
