Description

Description:
To use the refresh token grant type, the following doc [1] mentions replacing the <refresh-token> value with the refresh token generated in the previous step.
But there is no step defined in the doc on how to generate a refresh token. We better mention it in the doc on how to get a refresh token.

Research direction

Open the linked Refresh Token Grant documentation page and review the existing sequence of steps, especially where the refresh token value is used. Add the missing instruction explaining how to obtain the refresh token generated in the preceding flow. Verify that the rendered page clearly connects token generation with the later refresh-token request.
