Clear your Cache & Hard Re-Set

Clearing cache and browsing history is an important maintenance step for users interacting with Entrada, here's why:

  • If the system updates or has changes (design updates, new features), your browser may load outdated cached files, causing display or functionality problems.

  • Clearing the cache forces the browser to fetch the latest version of Entrada.

  • It may also be advisable to complete a hard re-set (hard refresh)
