Sorry Alan,
Obviously misread what you were asking.
The answer is No. You cannot change the domain name. The following is from the FAQ on campaign setup:
Q. Can I change the domain later?
A. You cannot change the domain of a campaign once it is created. If you need to track content, rankings, etc. on a new subdomain or domain, you must create a new campaign. Don’t panic – archiving and adding campaigns is easy.It is also not possible to duplicate the campaign and change details, so you will need to archive the old campaign and create a new one, but that is not so difficult to do.
The most arduous part of re-creating a campaign is adding the keywords, but this is also quite simple. All you need to do is export your keyword list to csv from the old campaign, open it in Excel, select the keywords in the first column and copy to your clipboard.
When you create the new campaign, just add one "placeholder" keyword in the screen that asks for keywords, then continue setup. When the campaign has been created, click "Manage Keywords" link at the top of the Overview page and paste the keywords from your csv file into the input field. Click Add Keywords and you're done.
If you choose a "placeholder" keyword that was not in the original list then you're fine. If you used one that was already in the list, you will just need to delete the duplicate so it does'nt mess up your reports.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Thanks but I want to change the domain name, not simply the name.
i could not see how you can change the domain name.

Hi Alan,
You can change the campaign name by clicking Settings in the campaign.
Just change the information in the Campaign name field and save.
Hope that helps,
Sha

How long do changes in title tags take to affect SEO?
This is kind of a loaded question. I'm completely new to SEO. I think my boss signed up for Moz Pro sometime in February and started adding data to our Ecommerce site to help with rankings. Sometime before this, I changed some of the title tags on the site (trying to help with organic search and CTR). I did not do a site wide change.... just changed maybe 10-20 (just a guess). I did it with keywords in mind but did not make note of when I did it. I didn't really know better at the time, and I did not have access to Google Analytics or Moz Pro. I was looking through the ranking data/graph for February and March. It won't let me look before February 29th (so that's why I think my boss started the Mos Pro subscription around at that time). On that day it said we ranked 12 keywords in the 1-3 spot, and then the following week (march 7) it went down to 6. I don't think or know if any major site changes were implemented, so I'm not sure why that happened and if it has anything to do with my title tag changes I did maybe a week or two before (again I am not sure when I did this unfortunately). Since then the keyword ranking numbers stayed about the same with organic traffic slowly going down (it could be because we are getting out of season for our industry though). The second week of March the site was upgraded and since then the menu has been completely changed around. Last week I did a site wide title tag change. So the minor changes I made in February are no longer in effect anyway. I added more keywords to Moz earlier this week and the number for 1-3 spot keywords went up from 6 to 20. It also says my ranking moved up 4 keywords and down 13 keywords. Anyway, I am wondering how seriously I should take these changes and if I'm damaging the site. I am new to Moz Pro also so all the data you can access is kind of confusing/overwhelming.

Cannot see Bing rank in Campaign
Hi guys I have included Bing en-GB in my engine list for rankings on one of my websites, however, the actual rank placements are not showing at all in the results, even though a search in Bing shows my site is top on some of the keywords and near top on some of the others. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks Nick
