  <p>To connect LaunchDarkly with StackOne, you'll need to create an API access token from your LaunchDarkly account.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Access Authorization Settings">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Sign in to your <a href="https://app.launchdarkly.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LaunchDarkly account</a> and navigate to Authorization settings.</p>

          <li>Click <strong>Authorization</strong> from sidebar to access the Access token page</li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Create a New Token">

        <p>In the Access tokens section, click <strong>Create token</strong> to generate a new API access token.</p>
      </div>
    </Step>
