Publishing as html 5 and refreshing site cookies
Nov 08, 2019
Hi All
I've been working on a Storyline course which I am publishing as HTML. I've hosted the site on a server.
I found myself in a very embarrassing situation yesterday. Yesterday the course was getting tested in a primary school classroom. I was meant to go in and help the teacher set up the course on the iPads. I updated the site before I went over. The teacher updated the iPads at the same time. :( Only half the course updated.
When I arrived at the classroom only half the course worked. The other half just didn't work. It was a jumbled mess. Even though it worked on my laptop. My only explanation is that the teacher must have updated access to each iPad as I was updating the website. Anyone else experienced this. Considering the teacher needs to go in and clear cookies and history every single time I see this as a tiresome process for teachers. Is there a simpler way to update all changes without having to update cache and cookies? Thanks!

Hi Matthew
Then I would have to send out a new link to the school teacher each time?
Thanks Matthew. The problem is that the school teacher would still have to go in and load the new website for all the grade 1's on Safari. Will have to look into cache busting. Are there any reliable guides I can follow? Thanks!
Hi Matthew
Thanks for sharing. I will give it a shot and let you know :)
Hi Matthew
I gave the version ?v=1a try. It seemed to work at first but when I uploaded a new version of the files to the server it rendered strangely the second time. I tested this a few times. So on first load it would load. But once I uploaded my files and reloaded the pages in the browser it did not render correctly unless I cleared the cache. Not sure why.
