# Remote repository troubleshooting

The following scenarios can occur when managing the remote repository.

#### Pointing to a non-empty branch when enabling a tenant

If you configure a tenant to use a remote repository, you have two options:

* Overwrite all content in the tenant with content from the repository.
* Overwrite all content in the remote repository with content from the tenant. 

  To overwrite the remote repository with content from the tenant, you must use an empty branch. If the branch is not empty, you will get an error message prompting you to select an empty branch. Alternatively, you can select the first option and overwrite all content in the tenant with the content from the remote repository.

#### Switching between remote repository types

If you switch between built-in and private remote repository types, you get a warning that switching between repository types may result in the loss of all version history.

To keep your content history, select **Existing content on your tenant** to overwrite all content in the remote repository with content from your tenant.

## 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://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.11/configure-cortex-xsoar/remote-repository-management/remote-repository-troubleshooting.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.
