No caching wireframe pages

Is it possible add something to each page so that the webserver doesnt cache that page within the users browser? When I make a change, my developers dont know if they have to clear their cache to see the latest update. It would be easier to have a setting that adds the tag no-cache to the header of each page.

Hi Anthony,

Can you describe in more details your scenario and where it fails? Normally the viewed version will be automatically refreshed to the latest version in the browser. On your side you just need to use the "Update previously uploaded link" option when uploading a new version.

I upload the files to my server. When I do, viewers that view the updated wireframe see the old version. They have to clear their cache to see the updated version. Since the developers dont know that I made an update to the page, they view the wireframe and develop the old cached version.

Would it be possible in this case for you to configure you web server to add the necessary headers? I believe this is the option that offers the most control over caching, unlike hard-coded tags directly in the HTML file.

No. I dont have control over the webserver settings.

Anthony,

You could try inserting the HTML tags that work for you to index.html, either manually or using a script to automate this step. This way you can experiment first to see what kind of combination works for you. It would be great if you could give it a try and let me know about the results.

But that would have to be added to every page since viewers might not start on the index.html page.

It would be great if you could add an option to add the meta tag to every page upon export.

<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-store" />

I would immediately upgrade to get the update.

Anthony,

There is a single index.html page per export if you do storyboard export. It's a single-page JavaScript application that loads screens dynamically. So you only need to modify this one page.

ok. I'll try it but I export a lot and manually editing the index file to add code for all of the different projects is... an additional manual step. But I guess it will have to do.

But you should consider adding that by default. Wireframe pages should never be cached anyway.
