The user should only have to log in once, but if they ever want to refresh their API token, or disconnect their NetDocs account, they may do so from their account integration page.<\/p>\n<p>Please take a look at the\u00a0<a href=\"\/dashboard-legal\/help\/question\/how-to-manage-documents\/\">how to guide<\/a>\u00a0for managing documents as a user or workstream admin.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"administering-the-netdocs-integration\">Administering the NetDocs integration<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>NetDocs matters are mapped to Dashboard Legal Workstream boards.
