Reauthenticate or remove a Looker Studio connector

Sometimes the Looker Studio connectors can have connection issues logging in or maybe you can have an error message with the connector connection. Reauthenticating a data source refreshes your connection to it. This can be helpful also if you need to make changes to your connected accounts.
