YOUR BROWSER CACHE and Opus 2

Overview of Browser Cache

Each  time you access a file through your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome), the browser caches or ‘stores’ it so it doesn't have to  keep retrieving the same files or images from the remote web site each time you  click Back or Forward. As a  practice, periodically  clearing the cache allows your browser to function  more efficiently.


Clearing your Browser Cache and Cookies

Many elements that you see after  initially logging in to Opus 2 are stored within your browser cache and  cookies. When Opus 2 issues an update, patch, or other change to your server, you may be advised to clear your cache and/or cookies. This forces Opus 2 to freshly download all materials, and allows you to fully engage with any new  features or settings.
