Hi All,

 

does Powerapps has caching or memory concept in built? I have scenario where I have modify or add something to the Powerapps and until end user refresh the powerapps the changes are not visible to them, is this expected behavior? are there any workarounds where without cleaning the cache or browser history and reopening the Powerapps the changes are not visible.

    Just to be clear, you add or modify an item to a datasource. Subsequently, another user who is currently using the same app does not see your changes.

    If that's the case, that's expected behaviour.

    Rather than the user re-opening the app, you can add a button to your app that refreshes the datasource by calling the Refresh function. The user can click the button to refresh the app and to see the latest changes. Alternatively, you could attach the call to Refresh on a timer.
