373 -1. You can do the fast transition - edit already existing repository – choose //Target: OCI repository //and adapt the url (__repo name can't be changed__), then the installed apps will pick app the repo change automatically. The problem is that the OCI repository recommends to target chart repos in the url, not the whole folder anymore.  That means if you deployed previously different apps using the old repo, for example "bitbucket" and "jira", now you can only target one repo, for example "bitbucket"

386 -##__**Why This Migration Is Required:**__##
387 -
388 -* ##ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.##
389 -* ##Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.##
390 -* ##Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions from new repository**.##

392 -## Migration Steps:##

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.
398 -11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
399 -1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily## 
400 -##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##
401 -11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
402 -11. Disable the old HTTP(S)-based repository.
403 -11. Keep it disabled until the migration is done.
404 -1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
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).
411 -11. Click **Upgrade**.
412 -1. ##Re-enable the Old Repository (Optional) ##
413 -If you still need the old repo for other apps, re-enable it after the migration steps above.
414 -**Note:** Even if a newer chart version exists in the old repository, your migrated app **will not see it**, because it is no longer connected to that repo

418 -## Reverting the Migration (If Needed)
419 -If you want to move an app back to the old repository:##
420 -
421 -1. Temporarily disable the new OCI repo.
422 -1. Enable the old ChartMuseum repo.
423 -1. Open the application → **Upgrade**.
424 -1. Select the chart from the old repo.
425 -1. Save.

427 -This will reconnect the app to the old repository.
