347 -11. Go to **Apps → Repositories**.
348 -11. Add a new repository of type **OCI**.
349 -11. Name it similarly to your old repo name (e.g. `<chart-repo-name>-oci`). __**You can't name it the same and can't rename it later.**__
350 -11. Point it to the new OCI endpoint.
351 -1. ##Disable the Old ChartMuseum Repository Temporarily## 
352 -##This step ensures that Rancher resolves charts from the new OCI repo.##

357 -1. ##Update Existing Applications to Use the New OCI Repo##
358 -Applications deployed with the old repository still contain the old repo name in their metadata. You must upgrade them once to transition.

360 -11. Open the application that was deployed using the old repo.
