+Allows for "refreshing" JWTs. If your user has a token that is about to expire, but the user is still active and using the app, you might want to use the `refresh` operation to receive a new token by executing this operation via the authenticated user.
 
 This operation requires a non-expired token to send back a new one. If the user's token has already expired, you will need to allow them to log in again to retrieve a new token.

-<Banner type="success">
-  The Refresh operation will automatically find the user's token in either a JWT header or the
-  HTTP-only cookie. But, you can specify the token you're looking to refresh by providing the REST
-  API with a `token` within the JSON body of the request, or by providing the GraphQL resolver a
-  `token` arg.

 ### Verify by Email
 
 If your collection supports email verification, the Verify operation will be exposed which accepts a verification token and sets the user's `_verified` property to `true`, thereby allowing the user to authenticate with the Payload API.
