# 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*.  
                     ![Showing the New client secret button on an app registration](https://www.spletzer.com/assets/images/new-client-secret.png)
           - More information visit below page:

2. Go to the [Lexis® Create DMS Portal](https://dashboard.lexiscreatedms.com/) (for LexisCreateDMS customers) or to [Lexis Create+ Portal](https://dashboard.lexis.com/) (for Lexis Create+ customers) 
3. Log in with **your Lexis® Create (DMS) credentials** (or via [SSO](https://help.henchman.io/home/setting-up-sso?hsLang=en) )
4. Go to '*Integrations*'
5. Click *Reconnect your account* next to your SharePoint (Service Principal) integration.![](https://help.henchman.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-19-2024-08-20-40-1475-AM.png?width=586&height=134&name=image-png-Sep-19-2024-08-20-40-1475-AM.png)
6. Click *Connect* and fill in the newly created *Client secret **Value** *(❗️not the *Client Secret ID*)
