After I do a fresh publish, I can see the updated, newly published help files. But when I open the same files in Chrome I do not see the most current version. I am using Robo Help 2019 and Chrome113.0.5672.93 (64 bit). Other users are having the same experience.
Thank you for any and all input.

Do the updates appear if you Refresh the page in Chrome?

Try deleting the Chrome cache.

I did think about clearing the cache, but problem is I can't ask my users to clear their cache every time I put out a new release. I need to identify why this happens and how I can correct without interaction from my users. Any other ideas how I can determine why this is happening? Have you ever experienced this?

There's some code I can post in the morning that forces a refresh but first we need to clear the cache to prove that is the issue.

Ok, then I will clear the cache. I just don't remember this ever happening before with my other projects.

You can force a page refresh by adding this code to the head section of the code.
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
I used a Find and Replace tool to find
<head>
and replace it with
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
Back up your project before doing this.
