Description
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem?
If users need to reauthenticate with an integration it's pretty cumbersome at the moment.
Describe the solution you'd like
A way to 'reauthenticate' or update the saved credentials for an existing integration, without having to update all the sources/destinations that depend upon it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Disconnecting the integration, adding a new connection and updating all sources/destinations that use that integration.
