(Hard) Refreshing your browser

When Apicbase doesn't look right, it might help to simply hard refresh the browser you are using to avoid User Interface glitches.

A hard refresh is a way of clearing the browser’s cache for a specific page, to force it to load the most recent version of a page. Sometimes, when changes are made to the website, they don’t register immediately due to caching. 

We advise you to always use Google Chrome to work in Apicbase. This browser is the best suited for working with our software platform.
