+Refreshing custom claims
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Certain properties of a token may be updated during the lifetime of a refresh
+token. For example, if a user's name is included in the token and the user is
+allowed to update their name, access tokens should be updated to reflect these
+changes. If you wish to send updated custom token claims with each access
+token, which are generated by the ``TokenRefreshView`` and the
+``TokenRefreshSlidingView``, create a subclass of the desired view as well as a
+subclass of its corresponding serializer. Here's an example of how to customize
+the claims in tokens generated by the ``TokenRefreshView``:
