I have a client that wants to see changes happening close to instantly when they update a csv file for an app and refresh their browser. The problem is the browser seems to be keeping the csv in some sort of cache, so refreshing the page doesn’t change the csv. Is there a way inside the verge workspace to force reloading the actual csv and not the cached copy?

Ctrl+F5?

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

A possible workaround to prevent caching a file is to add some random text (or just current time and date) to the URL, after the question symbol.

e.g. before:

path/to/myfile.csv

after:

path/to/myfile.csv?62565347

This way the file is still loaded as usual, but the browser won’t cache it because the URL changes every time.
