## Step 3 - Convert the Chest

In the *Conversion* menu pick up the *Crafting Table*.  The action will be cancelled and the chest will
be converted. 

**NOTE:** Warehouse chests cannot be broken or damaged.  To pick one up, you will need to convert 
it back into a normal chest.  Also, Sneak + clicking a warehouse chest with a stick is the only way
to access the warehouse admin menu.

## Step 3A - *Main Chest Menu*
There are 3 options in this menu. Picking up the item triggers the next action. 
1. Composter.  This Will convert the chest back into a standard chest.
2. Command Block.  This will open the chest *Administration Menu*
3. Book Shelf.  This will open the *Warehouse Category Menu*.

## Step 4 - Open the Warehouse

Click on the *Book Shelf*. to open the *Warehouse Category Menu*.  If you have
not created any categories yet you will only see 2 options in this menu. You can find
a fully organized and populated warehouse file in the *[db-files-templates](../50)%20Side%20Pages/Database%20Selection.md)* of the plugin.
1. Hopper.  This is your [Auto-Deposit](../50)%20Side%20Pages/Auto-Deposit.md) section. 
2. Chest.  This is the [UnCategorized Category](../50)%20Side%20Pages/UnCategorized%20Category.md) section.

**NOTE:** UnCategorized section will only show if there are "UnCategorized" inside.  This behavior can be changed
by setting "always-show-uncategorized: true" in the plugins config.yml file.
