# Labels

Labels are used to organize and categorize issues, pull requests, and other items in a repository. You can apply Labels for a variety of purposes, such as indicating the priority of an issue or pull request, marking items that need attention from a particular team or person, or categorizing issues by type or status. For example, you might use labels like "bug", "enhancement", "duplicate", "question", "help wanted", "wontfix" and so on.

Labels for a repository can be access via the Issues tab, in the Labels section.  Copia provides a default set of Labels at the Org level (which can be modified) which can be seen at the bottom of the window, and customers can also add/delete additional custom labels at the repository level seen at the top of the window.  

To add a new repository label, use the New Label button.

To modify the Organization level labels, use the [Organization Settings](/docs/git-based-source-control/administration/org-settings.md), and select the Labels section.  These labels are applied to any new repository that is created.
