 ### Develop an OAuth APP (GitHub APP) with web flow
 
+OAuth web flow allows you to authenticate as a user and act on behalf of the user.
+
+Note that if you are developing a GitHub APP, you may opt-in / opt-out of the user-to-server token expiration feature. If you opt-in, the user-to-server token will expire after a certain period of time, and you need to use the refresh token to generate a new token. In this case, you need to do more work to handle the token refresh. See [GitHub Docs - Refreshing user access tokens](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/authenticating-with-a-github-app/refreshing-user-access-tokens) for more information.
