Force Re-authorization of scopes for Google Add On

I'm developing an add on for the Google Sheets Add On Marketplace, and I'm somewhat stuck with the validation process that Google requires. They are asking me to re-do the screencapture of the process of authorizing the app for the first time, but since I already gave permission to my add on to run, I am unable to get the permission window to show up again.

Anyone know how can I force Google Sheets to ask for the Oauth permissions?

Thanks in advance

Authorization can be manually removed, or removed with code. Your users should also know how to remove authorization. You could provide a menu item, or button to users to remove authorization.

REMOVE AUTHORIZATION WITH CODE

function removeAuthorization() {//This must be run from your add-on code
  ScriptApp.invalidateAuth();
}

MANUALLY REMOVE AUTHORIZATION

Make sure that you are not logged into multiple Google accounts.
You need to be logged into just the Google account that installed the add-on.

Go to Manage your Google account:
https://myaccount.google.com/

Go to the security check up
https://myaccount.google.com/security-checkup

Open third party access
Scroll down to the bottom, and click "Show Others"
Remove access for {{Name of your Add-on}}
At this point you've removed authorization to the add-on through your account.

If you have a Workspace account, or some other paid Google account, then you may get the error message:

Uninstall app for domain in admin console

You will need to go into the admin console and delete the app.

Now go back to the add-on and use it and you will be prompted to re-authorize.
