At times when I re-upload a changed version of a webresource file to a 2016 instance and either do a 'publish' or 'publish all' the changes don't reflect. Only after I clear my browser cache and/or close IE and re-open does it work . Is this a known issue by chance?

Hello ,

Its depends on what type of customization you are doing.

I agreed with you some of the customization will not work only doing publish until and unless you are doing publish all. For example if you are changing any view you need to do publish all customization.

Make sure after publish or publish all you should press ctrl+f5.

There may be scenario sometimes not reflect the changes if two user doing publish all customization parallel , there is chances of overwrite old customization with your new customization by other user due to early view window.

But it's expected behavior to reflect the changes after making publish all and press ctrl+ F5.

Could you please check only one user access and make changes , do publish all its should work.

Hope this helps.

The update to a web resource should not require you to Publish All, and Publish should be enough in this case.

The issue, can be caching, where I agree with Goutam, that either pressing CTRL+F5, clearing your cache, running in In Private mode or closing and reopening the browser is the only thing that will actually resolve you not seeing the changes.

Hope this helps.

Its a Web Client issue. Meaning it will happen on all web clients.

Simply the web resource file is often loaded during the creation of the web page on the client.

If you make changes on the server the client does not know about them. (A publish makes changes to the server not to the clients). This behavior is not a bug,.

There is a difference between publish all and publish in that "publish" on publishes the specific solution you are referencing.

Publish all publishes everyone current solution.
