Resources like Javascript or CSS style sheets are cached by your browser so they don’t have to be downloaded from the server every time a page is requested. This is good for performance.

When we release a new version of Monad, all the Javascript and CSS files are requested with a new version, so any changes are picked up.

Occasionally we make small changes to CSS or javascript, to fix a display issue for a particular customer, outside of a new version. To get this to show up for someone that has visited the page before and has the cached version, we need to tell the browser to do a “hard refresh”, or to fetch everything again from the server instead of using the locally cached version.

Chrome:
