Change domain¶
Upon opening your project, you’ll be greeted by a familiar “Step 1” window, identical to the one encountered during project creation. This window allows you to seamlessly change your project’s domain, ensuring a consistent and intuitive editing experience. For detailed instructions on domain modification, please refer to the dedicated section referenced here.

A confirmation prompt will appear; clicking “Delete” again will permanently remove the project from your ParityVend account. Please exercise due diligence before deleting a project.
