# Managing Repositories
A repository is a versatile tool for managing writeups. It organizes content into structured categories, allowing for efficient reuse across reports. Repositories grant varying access permissions, enhancing collaboration and control.
## Changing Settings
Step 1: From the **WriteupsDB** module home page, click the repository to update.
Step 2: Click **Repository Settings.**
{% hint style="info" %}
If the repository is not an "Open" type repository, admins will also see a [**Users & Permissions**](/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/content-library/writeupsdb/managing-users.md) link next to the settings option.
{% endhint %}
All fields that existed when creating the repository are available for editing, with an additional button to delete the repository.
Step 3: Click **Submit** when finished.
## Copying a Repository
Step 1: From the **Repositories** tab of the **WriteupsDB** module, click the meatballs menu found on the repository card to copy.
Step 2: Click **Copy Repository**.
Step 3: Change the repository name, add a section ID, update the description as needed, and validate access permissions. Click **Save**.
The new repository has been created and is listed on the **Repositories** tab.
## Deleting a Repository
{% hint style="danger" %}
This action will delete the repository and all its writeups for all users.
{% endhint %}
A repository can be deleted in two ways:
1. Click the meatballs menu on the repository card from the **Repositories** tab of the WriteupsDB module. Then, click the meatballs menu again in the repository card and click **Delete Repository**.\
