What happens when I disconnect a GitHub accoun

Last updated on Oct 16, 2025

Short Answer:
Disconnecting removes access to all repositories linked via that account, and documentation for those repos will stop updating automatically.

Prerequisites

  1. Open Settings > Connectors

  2. Be ready to re-add the connector later if you want updates restored

Steps

  1. In Settings > Connectors, click the trash/delete icon for the GitHub account you want to remove.
    A Disconnect confirmation modal appears.

  2. Read the warning: “This will remove access to all repositories linked through this account. Documentation for these repos will no longer update automatically.”

  3. If you plan to restore updates later, re-add the connector via Add connector and complete authorization.

Troubleshooting

  1. Docs stopped updating after disconnect

    • LikelyCause: Repo access was removed when the connector was disconnected.

    • Action: Reconnect the GitHub account (Settings > Connectors > Add connector), then run a Sync.

Note: Disconnecting is a destructive action for automated updates—confirm before proceeding.
