An app says Not connected
Not connected means the app is on the list and sign-in has not finished. Choose Connect. Other status words mean something else.
Open Connections, then Apps. An app that was added and has not finished sign-in shows Not connected. The note is Not connected yet. Choose Connect. That row also has a ⋯ menu. How to finish sign-in is on Connect an app.
On that app's own page, Status can say Not connected. The same choice is Connect.
