Any negative impact to renaming a Project Area?

I believe either of those approaches are fine.

The key point to keep in mind is that in the repository, all of those
project references are by ID, so you can rename the project area and it
will not be affected by the linkages.
But in the CSV file, project areas are represented by name, so for the
import to work, the name of the project areas in the source repository
at time of export (which determines the name of the project area in the
CSV file) must match the name of the project area in the target
repository at time of import.

Cheers,
Geoff

I can't seem to find any information on if there is any impact or
considerations I should be aware of when renaming a Project Area. We
are going to be copying work items to a new repository but this
article says the project area should be named exactly the same:

So I am trying to find out if we'd be ok to either:
1. Rename the source project area before we export the work items.
2. Rename the target project area after all the work items have been
imported and copied over successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

Makes sense. Thanks Geoff.
