# 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. &#x20;

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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.copia.io/docs/git-based-source-control/additional-features/issues/labels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
