I m on phone at the moment but googling Pulumi aliases should help

Yep all the resource URNs contain the project and stack name so they are all different now I believe you can get the current URNs with `pulumi stack show urns` and then manually add `aliases lt the old URN gt ` to every resource it s a slow amp painstaking process if you have a lot of resources and or abstractions like component resources but you should be able to get there slightly smiling face

a friendly tip though do this BEFORE you try to change any of the actual resources or you ll probably get burned like I did here <https pulumi community slack com archives C84L4E3N1 p1620756393016100>
