What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/apps/migrating-oauth-apps-to-github-apps

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

  • The migration guide explains how to create a new Github app to replace your old OAuth app
  • It's not clear to me if there's a way to move the users to the new app, so they don't need to re-authenticate (I guess there is not, but I think should be indicated)
  • It's not clear to me whether I should delete the old OAuth app. It's confusing to me, because it says we should encourage users to de-authorize the old app, but if the old app is no longer in use, it would make more sense to me to delete the app, so its credentials can not be abused in any way and all authorizations are revoked.
