A changed value has not appeared yet
What you are seeing
You saved a new value, but a page, a preview, an export or a published site still shows the old one.
#Why it happens, and what to do
Where | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
A page that was already open | Values are read when the page loads. | Reload the page. |
The editor preview or the Capable Search side panel | These keep a value for up to about 30 seconds. | Wait a moment and look again. |
A published Capable Site | A site is a snapshot from its last publish. | Publish the site again. |
A PDF or Word file | An export is a snapshot from when it was made. | Export again. |
#A few things that catch people out
Changing a value creates no page version, so page history never shows it. Use the variable's own Version history in the catalogue.
Watchers are not notified, so readers will not know a value changed unless you tell them.
