Reconnecting to add-on services

An add-on may disconnect from the add-on's service, for example, after configuration changes. To continue using the add-on, you have to reconnect to the add-on service, and you have to re-authenticate.

Fastpath: User interface: Your avatar > Add-ons

Re-establishing add-on's connection to its service initiates an authentication process, even if the authentication has been established previously. Reconnecting to an add-on service requires that you re-authenticate all tiles that are used by this add-on.

To reconnect an add-on to its service:

  1. In the user interface, click on your avatar in the upper right corner, and then click Add-ons.
  2. From the Add-ons tab, select All Add-ons > Installed.
  3. Click the gear icon next to the add-on that you want to reconnect to its service and select Reconnect to Service.
  4. When the dialog opens, click Reconnect now if you're okay with the add-on re-establishing its connection to and re-registering with the third-party service.
    You will need to reconfigure any tiles receiving updates, so they continue receiving them.
