The page promised repository selection on every Connect. That stopped being true when the Connect button moved to the OAuth authorize URL (dcd d122ccfe): an existing installation is now reconnected without a reinstall, which means without GitHub's repo picker. Users following the docs went looking for a step that never came.

Describes both paths, points at the new Manage repositories link on the Integrations card as the way to change scope afterwards, and stops promising that disconnect always removes the App from GitHub — it's best-effort, and the console now says so when it can't.

Adds the GitHub 404 on Connect to the troubleshooting list. It's a configuration problem on our side and nothing a customer can act on (devicecloud-dev/dcd#1140).
