## Protecting your repositories

To enable or disable licenses for your repositories, open the relevant dashboard (i.e., **GitHub**) and click **Explore** button in the right-bottom corner of the organization tile. Here, you can manage all your repositories and enable or disable protection by assigning a license. In the **License assigned** column, use the toggle button to turn the protection on or off.
