how do I change my project from Documentary Film to Docu Series?
My documentary series has 2 seasons. It shows up as a film right now. I am not sure now to properly change my project so I can credit each season's crew.
Do I delete the film credit and start over. Will I be able to list it as a series?

JP: I believe you should submit a Title Correction for your project.
A theatrical film would have the following title format:
The Life and Times of Gromit82 (2023)
But a TV series would have the following title format:
"The Life and Times of Gromit82" (2023)
Note that a TV series must have quotation marks around the title proper.
If you submit a correction to change the title, you will need to provide an explanation, in which you should explain that the project is actually a TV series and not a single film. (Also, mention your job on the project, whether you are the producer, the director, or something else, if applicable.)
During the process, you will get a warning that says, "There is a mismatch between the title type of the old and new titles. ... Are you sure you would like to change the title type?" That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway" and proceed from there.
Allow a few days for the correction to go through once you have submitted it.
If you run into any problems, come back to this message board and provide the link to your project's IMDb page.
***
One other item to note: After the project has been converted to a TV series, you will need to add the episodes to the series, and during that process, you can submit the crew for each episode (or you can submit crew members after an episode has been added to the database). Cast and crew members are entered into IMDb based on the episodes they worked on, not based on the seasons they worked on.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
