### Changing the "Used by" package
If the dependency graph is enabled, and your repository contains a package that's published on a supported package ecosystem, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} displays a "Used by" section in the sidebar of the **Code** tab of your repository. For more information about the supported package ecosystems, see "[About the dependency graph](/github/visualizing-repository-data-with-graphs/about-the-dependency-graph#supported-package-ecosystems)."
The "Used by" section shows the number of public references to the package that were found, and displays the avatars of some of the owners of the dependent projects.

Clicking any item in this section takes you to the **Dependents** tab of the dependency graph.
The "Used by" section represents a single package from the repository. If you have admin permissions to a repository that contains multiple packages, you can choose which package the "Used by" section represents.
