Clearing the cache and cookies in your browser is an essential troubleshooting step for resolving common browsing issues.

The cache stores temporary website data to help pages load faster, while cookies store login details and site preferences.

Over time, these files can become outdated or conflict with updated website content, which can cause problems such as pages not loading correctly or previews not displaying in the Dext web app.

Clearing your cache and cookies ensures that your browser loads the most recent version of every page and removes any conflicting stored data.
