Update Custom Upstream credentials in the Dashboard

August 7, 2026

You can now update the credentials for a Custom Upstream directly from the Pantheon Dashboard — no support ticket or new upstream required. Previously, changing a private repository's access token meant either creating a new Custom Upstream and switching each site over to it, or contacting Pantheon Support.

What's new

  • The upstream Settings page now has a Repository credentials section that shows whether credentials are set and lets you update them — a GitHub personal access token or a Bitbucket repository access token.
  • The stored credential is masked and never displayed back in the Dashboard.

Changing the repository URL still requires creating a new Custom Upstream.

For steps, see Edit an Existing Custom Upstream.
