Digital publications are based in Flash, and like your internet browser, Adobe Flash stores a cache of data should you wish to revisit the website. This can lead to old or stale content being stored on your machine making it more difficult for the latest version of your publication to be pulled through.
The following steps will show you how to delete all Flash Player data stored by websites on your computer. To remove all browsing history, please see Clear Your Browser Cache.
The article is split into two - instructions for Windows and instructions for Apple OSX.
