OAuth tokens are used to interact with the GitLab API,
for reporting the status of merge requests, creating webhooks, and listing repositories.
In order for Read the Docs to have access to new fresh tokens,
you need to re-connect your GitLab account.
You can do this by:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Going to your RTD account settings</p></li>
<li><p>Click on <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Connected</span> <span class="pre">services</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Click on <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Connect</span> <span class="pre">to</span> <span class="pre">GitLab</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>Or by following the link:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://readthedocs.org/accounts/gitlab/login/?process=connect">https://readthedocs.org/accounts/gitlab/login/?process=connect</a></p></li>
<li><p>Or <a class="reference external" href="https://readthedocs.com/accounts/gitlab/login/?process=connect">https://readthedocs.com/accounts/gitlab/login/?process=connect</a>
if you are using Read the Docs for Business.</p></li>
