394		-1. ##Create the New OCI Repository in Rancher##
395		-11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
396		-11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
397		-11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). You can't name it the same.

405		-Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.
406		-11. Go to **Apps → Installed Apps**.
407		-11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
408		-11. Click **Upgrade**.
409		-11. In the list of available chart repositories (scroll to the bottom), select the **new OCI repository**.
410		-11. Choose the chart version you want to deploy (same or newer).

	449	+## Summary
	450	+- Add new OCI repo → disable old repo → upgrade apps → reconnect to OCI repo.
	451	+- After upgrade, apps no longer track versions from the old repository.
	452	+- Old repository will stop functioning after ChartMuseum shutdown, so migration is required.
