Refreshing file in Content Section

Having an issue with using the Refresh command for a PDF file stored in content section that is already linked to several places in my website. Using refresh command appears to replace the file with updated content. (confirmed by downloading from this area and reviewing) also got small pop up message saying the refresh was complete.

My issue is that the website links still pull old version even after it has been replaced. Tried clearing cache on browser to make sure it was not stored locally. Had a different user, using a different browser, that had never been there to follow the link and still got old version.

Has anyone else had this issue? My workaround was to delete the file upload it again as new file and then go fix the links to reference the new file. Thanks for feedback.

Troubleshooting, updating files in the files admin or theme assets:

Sometimes you have to wait for the server cache as well.

Make sure whatever code is generating the link refers to the actual file being replaced and not a link to the previous versions.

i.e. there’s no unique appended to the file name or url params, etc

Good Hunting.

Thanks Paul
