Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
Our team uses short-lived SAS tokens to access our data. When the week is up, we need to delete the existing container in ASE, and create a new one with the new SAS token. Any open tabs with their paths have to be closed and reopened with the new connection
Desired Solution
I'd like to be able to paste in a new SAS token for an existing connection, so all my tabs would continue to work. Or a button to edit the connection's properties.
Alternatives and Workarounds
We can work around this by closing and deleting everything associated with the old connection, but that requires re-navigating to each of the blob locations

Research direction
Start by tracing how Azure Storage Explorer creates and stores SAS Blob Container connections, then inspect how open tabs resolve their existing connection. Done means a user can replace the SAS token for an existing connection without deleting it or reopening tabs, with the updated connection continuing to access the container.
