Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
I need to rename my main application and all of the objects in the application (about 600 objects). This application exists in dev and has been deployed to QA, Stage and Prod environments, all of which are cloud and on version 20.3.

The officially supported method:
The renamings should then follow to the other environments as applicable. I don't know of any particular issues, though any deployment with a very large number of process models will usually take quite a while to complete.
I should warn you in advance that it's exceptionally hard or impossible to rename CDTs, unfortunately - other than deleting and creating a new one from the original XSD which causes plenty of other issues. If it were me, I'd plan to just leave the CDT names alone (if this applies to you), even if it means they end up with a naming convention mismatch.
Mike Schmitt Thank you very much for you answer. Is there any downside to renaming the applications individually in each environment? The reason to do this is that the contents of the applications are quite different across the environments at any given time, so it would be had to find an opportunity to re deploy the entire app to all environments.
