 * I can only get your plug in working with my site in developer mode, which works
   fine, except that it expires weekly. Is there a way to make it permanent?

 * Hi,
 * Are you using your own Google Cloud Console project?
 * If you do, while the app is set to Testing, refresh token will expire every week.
   Publish the app without necessarily verifying it and reauthorize the plugin to
   avoid 7 days timeout.

 * AFAIK I have to use my own Google Cloud Console Project in developer mode, right?
 * Also, what do you mean exactly by ” Publish the app without necessarily verifying
   it”?

 * Under _OAuth consent screen_, if you don’t have a Workspace account, you need
   to set/have:
    - **User type** set to _External_
    - **Publishing Status** set to In _Production_
    - **Verification Status** set to _Needs verification_ (by clicking on the PUBLISH
      APP button)
 * Afterwards, reauthorize the plugin and you’ll get rid of the 7 days refresh token
   expiration.

 * In your documentation it says “You don’t need to verify it further since only
   a handful of users will access it.” But when I publish the app it says it needs
   verification – is this actually necessary, or did I get something wrong in the
   setup process? In order to do verify it, I have to submit a YouTube video with
   the following info:
 * Your YouTube video should demonstrate the OAuth grant process by users and explain,
   in detail, how you’ll use sensitive and restricted scopes within the app’s functionality
   for each OAuth client belonging to the project. Learn more
   The video should clearly
   show the app’s details such as the app name, OAuth client ID, and so on.

 * Ah, I found I could authorise the plugin if I clicked on Advanced when Google
   showed me a warning screen, then agreed to “accept the risks”. It might be a 
   good idea to add this to the instructions – I was stuck in testing mode because
   I thought I had to verify.
