+The GitLab [Package Registry](package_registry/index.md) acts as a private or public registry
+for a variety of common package managers. You can publish and share
packages, which can be easily consumed as a dependency in downstream projects.
-GitLab acts as a repository for the following:
-
-| Software repository | Description | Available in GitLab version |
-| ------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------- |
-| [Container Registry](container_registry/index.md) | The GitLab Container Registry enables every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) images. | 8.8+ |
-| [Dependency Proxy](dependency_proxy/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab Dependency Proxy sets up a local proxy for frequently used upstream images/packages. | 11.11+ |
-| [Conan Repository](conan_repository/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab Conan Repository enables every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [Conan](https://conan.io/) packages. | 12.6+ |
-| [Maven Repository](maven_repository/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab Maven Repository enables every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) packages. | 11.3+ |
-| [NPM Registry](npm_registry/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab NPM Registry enables every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/) packages. | 11.7+ |
-| [NuGet Repository](nuget_repository/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab NuGet Repository will enable every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) packages. | 12.8+ |
-| [PyPi Repository](pypi_repository/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab PyPi Repository will enable every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [PyPi](https://pypi.org/) packages. | 12.10+ |
-| [Go Proxy](go_proxy/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The Go proxy for GitLab enables every project in GitLab to be fetched with the [Go proxy protocol](https://proxy.golang.org/). | 13.1+ |
-| [Composer Repository](composer_repository/index.md) **(PREMIUM)** | The GitLab Composer Repository will enable every project in GitLab to have its own space to store [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) packages. | 13.2+ |

-## View packages
-
-You can view packages for your project or group.
-
-1. Go to the project or group.
-1. Go to **{package}** **Packages & Registries > Package Registry**.
-
-You can search, sort, and filter packages on this page.
-
-For information on how to create and upload a package, view the GitLab documentation for your package type.
-
-## Use GitLab CI/CD to build packages
-
-You can use [GitLab CI/CD](./../../ci/README.md) to build packages.
-For Maven and NPM packages, and Composer dependencies, you can
-authenticate with GitLab by using the `CI_JOB_TOKEN`.
-
-CI/CD templates, which you can use to get started, are in [this repo](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates).
-
-Learn more about [using CI/CD to build Maven packages](maven_repository/index.md#creating-maven-packages-with-gitlab-cicd)
-and [NPM packages](npm_registry/index.md#publishing-a-package-with-cicd).
-
-If you use CI/CD to build a package, extended activity
-information is displayed when you view the package details:
-
-![Package CI/CD activity](img/package_activity_v12_10.png)
-
-You can view which pipeline published the package, as well as the commit and
-user who triggered it.
-
-## Download a package
-
-To download a package:
-
-1. Go to **{package}** **Packages & Registries > Package Registry**.
-1. Click the name of the package you want to download.
-1. In the **Activity** section, click the name of the package you want to download.
-
-## Delete a package
-
-You cannot edit a package after you publish it in the Package Registry. Instead, you
-must delete and recreate it.
-
-- You cannot delete packages from the group view. You must delete them from the project view instead.
- See [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/227714) for details.
-- You must have suitable [permissions](../permissions.md).
-
-You can delete packages by using [the API](../../api/packages.md#delete-a-project-package) or the UI.
-
-To delete a package in the UI:
-
-1. Go to **{package}** **Packages & Registries > Package Registry**.
-1. Find the name of the package you want to delete.
-1. Click **Delete**.
-
-The package is permanently deleted.
-
-## Disable the Package Registry
-
-The Package Registry is automatically enabled.
-
-If you are using a self-managed instance of GitLab, your administrator can remove
-the menu item, **{package}** **Packages & Registries**, from the GitLab sidebar. For more information,
-see the [administration documentation](../../administration/packages/index.md).
-
-You can also remove the Package Registry for your project specifically:
-
-1. In your project, go to **{settings}** **Settings > General**.
-1. Expand the **Visibility, project features, permissions** section and disable the
- **Packages** feature.
-1. Click **Save changes**.
-
-The **{package}** **Packages & Registries > Package Registry** entry is removed from the sidebar.
-
-## Package workflows
-
-Learn how to use the GitLab Package Registry to build your own custom package workflow.
-
-- [Use a project as a package registry](./workflows/project_registry.md) to publish all of your packages to one project.
-- Publish multiple different packages from one [monorepo project](./workflows/monorepo.md).
+The Package Registry supports the following formats:
+
+<div class="row">
+<div class="col-md-9">
+<table align="left" style="width:50%">
+<tr style="background:#dfdfdf"><th>Package type</th><th>GitLab version</th></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/composer_repository/index.html">Composer</a></td><td>13.2+</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/conan_repository/index.html">Conan</a></td><td>12.6+</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/go_proxy/index.html">Go</a></td><td>13.1+</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/maven_repository/index.html">Maven</a></td><td>11.3+</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/npm_registry/index.html">NPM</a></td><td>11.7+</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/nuget_repository/index.html">NuGet</a></td><td>12.8+</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/pypi_repository/index.html">PyPI</a></td><td>12.10+</td></tr>
+</table>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+You can also use the [API](../../api/packages.md) to administer the Package Registry.
+
+The GitLab [Container Registry](container_registry/index.md) is a secure and private registry for container images.
+It's built on open source software and completely integrated within GitLab.
+Use GitLab CI/CD to create and publish images. Use the GitLab [API](../../api/container_registry.md) to
+manage the registry across groups and projects.
+
+The [Dependency Proxy](dependency_proxy/index.md) is a local proxy for frequently-used upstream images and packages.
