-## Limitations
+## Using with private projects
-In order to use a container image from your private project as an `image:` in
-your `.gitlab-ci.yml`, you have to follow the
-[Using a private Docker Registry][private-docker]
-documentation. This workflow will be simplified in the future.
+If a project is private, credentials will need to be provided for authorization.
+The preferred way to do this, is by using personal access tokens, which can be
+created under `/profile/personal_access_tokens`. The minimal scope needed is:
+`read_registry`.
+
+This feature was introduced in GitLab 9.3.
