OAC finding aid collection contents - 24+ hour display lag time (new/updated files)

[aturner]

We've received several reports of 24+ hour lag times with displaying "Collection Contents" for new finding aids, and/or updates to those contents.

By the time we respond back to the person who reported the issue, the updates are in place.

What can we do facilitate troubleshooting of lag-times and expediting updates in the front-end, aiming towards a goal of displaying updates within 12 hours?

@bibliotechy here's the CSL finding aid (https://help.oac.cdlib.org/a/tickets/181165), where CSL is reporting not seeing the updates on different browsers (also after refreshing local browser caches). Can we provide a cache-busting version of the URL?

@aturner the cache-busting can be as simple as

In practice, we could probably add a something like a timestamp on a button in the dashboard that could provide that each time
