If a SchoolsBuddy page does not show recent changes, do a hard refresh while you are on that page. In Chrome or Firefox, press Ctrl + F5 on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac. In Safari, empty the cache and then refresh.
For anyone whose browser is showing an old version of a SchoolsBuddy page.
A hard refresh clears your browser’s cache for one page and makes it load the latest version. Sometimes changes to the website do not show straight away because of caching. A hard refresh usually fixes this. Occasionally you may need to clear the whole cache.
