Hard refresh the browser cache

Overview

Hard refreshing the cache in D365 development is often necessary to ensure that you are viewing and working with the most recent version of the code and configuration changes you've made.

During development, various types of data can be stored in a browser's cache such as JavaScript files, images, and other resources. If these cached files contain outdated or incorrect information, it can cause a range of issues such as failing to display new changes, loading old configurations or not reflecting updates properly.
