After a publish I can see the changes in Edge but not in Chrome

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.

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.
