Several respondents of our Pavlovia survey (accessed via both a QR code and a direct link) have reported seeing outdated/incorrect versions of our survey after we published corrections, e.g. a typo we fixed still appeared, and on some attempts certain items looked different than on others, for the same respondent on the same device (iPhone). Reloading later sometimes showed the corrected version, sometimes not.
Is this a known caching issue on the participant-facing side for Pavlovia Surveys ?
Is there’s a recommended way to force participants to always receive the latest published version?
This generally only affects the developer, but yes there can be a caching issue if the browser has previously viewed an older version. New participants should always see the most recent version, so please let us know if that seems to be failing.
For returning participants, the easiest option is to use an incognito/private tab.
