# Changing the sharing of a project

If a project is shared with a CVS repository location, you can change the sharing information so it is shared with a different repository location. The new location must map to the same repository but can have a different connection method and/or user name.

To change the sharing of a project:

1. In one of the navigation views, select the project whose sharing information is to be changed.
2. Select Properties from the pop-up menu. The properties dialog will open.
3. Select CVS to see the CVS properties page for the project.
4. Click Change Sharing.... A repository selection dialog opens containing the compatible repository locations. (Note: You can change the sharing to a non-compatible repository location by unchecking the Show only compatible repository locations button.)
5. Select the desired location and click OK to change the sharing for the project.
