When I tried to modify classes under the project settings, I got an error saying, “Something went wrong while modifying classes.” Specifically, I was trying to do the following: ![Screenshot from 2023-10-22 18-04-52](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/roboflow1/original/2X/c/c4c90a22d13478ec22884510321cdc3b94da3c8f.png) I know that there is a preprocessing tool for renaming classes when generating a new version of the dataset, but it is only at the dataset level (original classes still exist). I would like to rename classes at the project level as shown in the image.

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you’re trying to modify class labels at the project level. However, the extracts do not provide a direct solution for renaming classes at the project level. The extracts do mention a feature called “Modify Classes” which is a preprocessing tool that allows you to rename or omit classes when generating a new version of your dataset. This tool is used at the dataset level, not the project level [source](https://help.roboflow.com/en_US/faqs/faq-about-labeling-your-images-in-roboflow). To use the “Modify Classes” preprocessing tool, you need to navigate to your dataset’s page, proceed to Generating a new version by selecting `Generate New Dataset` and click to `Add Preprocessing Step`. Then choose `Modify Classes`. You can then rename or omit classes as needed and hit `Apply` to save. When you finish your other preprocessing and augmentation settings and click `Generate`, the dataset version will export with these new class label settings [source](https://blog.roboflow.com/introducing-class-management/). If you’re encountering an error while trying to modify classes, it might be a technical issue that needs to be addressed by the Roboflow support team. The extracts do not provide information on troubleshooting such errors. I recommend reaching out to Roboflow’s support for further assistance. * * * > Hi! I’m Roboflow’s AI powered bot.

There was a bug in renaming numeric classes but I just rolled out a fix. You should be able to go ahead and rename your classes now! ---
