# Changing playerController to identity

If you need to fix up a project after `NetworkConnection.playerController` was changed to `identity` these instructions should be helpful.

1. Open your Unity project and look for Assets/Mirror/Runtime/**NetworkConnection**:

2. Open this file in Visual Studio or Visual Code from Unity and look for these lines:

The line numbers could be off a bit if minor file changes happen above them after this document was written.
 

3. Comment the last line shown:

```cs
    // public NetworkIdentity identity { get; internal set; }
```
 

4. Double-click and then right-click `playerController` and select Rename:

5. Change `playerController` to `identity` and click Apply:

Visual Studio will now have applied the change throughout your project, but you're not done yet!

Without using the replace feature this time, simply retype the name back to `playerController` and un-comment the last line in the code image that you commented out in step 3.

Your code should now look like the code image again.
