# Instant Feasibility Check for Custom Repositories

Whatfix enables you to instantly check the feasibility of a Custom Repository integration before integrating the repository for the first time. The feasibility check ensures that content from the custom repository can be crawled without issues. This process reduces integration time and increases productivity.

Check the feasibility of integrating specific sections within the repository.

If the repository cannot integrate with Whatfix, you get an error message in the Feasibility Report along with the reason why the integration is not feasible.

          Note:

          

Currently, Whatfix enables running a Feasibility check only on unauthenticated repositories.

## Check Feasibility of Specific Sections of the Repository

Use the following steps to check the feasibility of a specific section of the repository:

1. After checking the feasibility of an entire repository, click the **specific section** hyperlink. ![DB_Repo_FC_Clickhyperlink1](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/DB_Repo_FC_Clickhyperlink%281%29.png)
2. Enter the section URL.
3. Click **Check**. ![DB_Repo_FC_ClickCheckSC1](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/DB_Repo_FC_ClickCheckSC%281%29.png)

          Note:

          

- Whatfix checks feasibility by attempting to integrate with some articles or sections of your custom repository and generates the Feasibility Report. To access the list of integrated content, click **Detailed report**. ![DB_Repo_FR_ClickDetailedReport1](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/DB_Repo_FR_ClickDetailedReport%281%29.png)
- A feasibility check fails due to multiple reasons such as a change in URL or authentication requirement. Contact the Custom Repository Point of Contact to resolve the issue. If the issue persists, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?subject=Feasibility%20check%20failure%20&body=Hello%20team%2C%20%0A%0AI%20am%20having%20issues%20with%20integrating%20the%20custom%20repository%20and%20need%20help%20with%20the%20same.%20).
