# Reconnection SharePoint (Service Principal)

It happens that your SharePoint integration (via Service Principal) can be disconnected. When this happens we can not sync your contracts for updates. You need to reconnect as soon as possible to prevent delays and inconsistencies in your contract data.

 

Take the following steps to resume seamless integration:

1. Configure a new client secret for your Microsoft Sharepoint integration: 
     - - You can generate a **new client secret** by navigating to the corresponding App Registration in *Azure Portal* or *Microsoft Entra Admin Center:*  
                   - Select *Certificates & secrets.*
                   - Select *Client secrets*, and then select *New client secret.*
                   - Provide a description of the secret, and a duration.
                   - Select *Add*.
