# Fishbowl: "QBO Integration wizard refresh needed"

> Your QuickBooks Online connection needs re-authentication.

## What it means
Fishbowl's live sync with QuickBooks Online has stopped authenticating. This typically happens when the OAuth token expires (QBO revokes access after extended inactivity, often 180+ days) or when QBO credentials have changed externally. Any Fishbowl feature that reads or writes QBO data will show this message until you refresh the connection.

## What to check
- Check the Accounting module for any connection status display or existing error messages about the QBO link
- Confirm whether your QBO login credentials or account settings have changed recently
- Verify whether syncs have been running regularly—long gaps between syncs increase token expiration risk
