Clearing Your Browser's File Cache

Most Web browsers maintain a local copy of Web pages, images, and other related files on your computer to increase performance. Certain SBM User Workspace pages and files are stored in your browser's file cache, and for optimal use, you should occasionally clear these files out. This can be especially beneficial after your SBM system is upgraded to a new version.

The following instructions provide guidance for clearing the file cache in browsers most frequently used by the SBM User Workspace. Instructions may vary depending on your browser version. For more assistance, refer to the browser's documentation.
