Clearing the Browser Cache

Important

This action is not required if you are upgrading from GAX 8.5.000.76 or a later GAX 8.5.0 release to another GAX 8.5.0 or GAX 8.5.2 release. In this situation, GAX automatically clears the browser cache.

After upgrading GAX, if you have a browser window open with GAX, you must clear the browser cache. This enables the browser to load the content of the upgraded GAX. Use one of the procedures in this section; if you are using a different browser than appears below, refer to browser-specific documentation.
