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"

385 +If your old repository included several charts (for example “bitbucket” and “jira”), then after switching to OCI you can only target one chart (e.g. “bitbucket”).
386 +The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.

388 +1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended), preserve the old one till the end. This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function. You can:
389 +1*. Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
390 +1*. Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
391 +1*. Migrate applications gradually following the steps described here.
392 +1*. This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
