Buttons do nothing after an update (hard refresh)
instructoradmin
If a page's buttons silently stop working right after a deploy, the browser tab is stale. A hard refresh fixes it.
Summary
If buttons on a page silently stop working right after an update, the open tab is running against code that no longer exists on the server. A hard refresh fixes it.
Steps
- Hard refresh the page:
Ctrl+Shift+R(Windows/Linux) orCmd+Shift+R(Mac). - If it persists, close the tab and reopen the page.
Notes & tips
This only happens to a tab left open across a deployment. A normal reload is enough in most cases.
