Reconnect Ad + Google Analytics Data
Reconnecting a data source refreshes your license's connection to it. This can be helpful if you're encountering issues logging in, or if you need to make changes to your connected accounts.
- Open Looker Studio and click the Ad + Google Analytics Data data source.
If you're actively editing a report, click the Edit icon (
) next to the data source (or click Resource → Managed added data sources and click Edit there). - On the left side, click Edit connection.
- Navigate to the link in the sentence that starts with “To manage data source authentications…”
- Choose the team that the connection you'd like to reauthenticate belongs to.
- Click Reauthenticate (or, for some data sources, Reconnect).
In some cases, click the data source name, then the 3-dot menu, and click Reconnect. - Authenticate the data source again.
- Click Reconnect, and then click Done.
In some cases, click Continue.
