Normally, when you refresh a page, your browser still serves up the cached version of the page, rather than downloading all of the assets again. But you can actually bypass the cache and force a complete refresh by using some simple hotkeys to do a ‘forced refresh’. \n\n For all Windows browsers: CTRL + F5\n Apple Safari: SHIFT + Reload button\n Chrome and Firefox for Mac: CMD + SHIFT + R\n\nAgain, this method only bypasses the cache for the specific page that you’re on. It leaves the rest of your browser cache untouched. Therefore, this option is great if you’re experiencing issues with just a single page. But if you want to completely reset your experience (say, across an entire site), you’re better off just clearing your entire browser’s cache."},{"_id":"452bc26693b400aadd0000f5","treeId":"452c0f26a68f40cedd000094","seq":21545389,"position":3,"parentId":null,"content":"**Collaboration**"},{"_id":"452bc1c793b400aadd0000f6","treeId":"452c0f26a68f40cedd000094","seq":21545390,"position":1,"parentId":"452bc26693b400aadd0000f5","content":"**Question:** How do I upload a Word Document and share it as a Google Doc?"},{"_id":"452bc04493b400aadd0000f7","treeId":"452c0f26a68f40cedd000094","seq":21593090,"position":1,"parentId":"452bc1c793b400aadd0000f6","content":"**Answer:** <div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 79.82261640798227%; height: 0;\"><iframe src=\"https://www.loom.com/embed/14785206be224a39a551dd1157345a2c\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\"></iframe></div>"},{"_id":"449a955122da3bd0d80000ae","treeId":"452c0f26a68f40cedd000094","seq":21603209,"position":5,"parentId":null,"content":"**Team Projects**"},{"_id":"449a94ab22da3bd0d80000af","treeId":"452c0f26a68f40cedd000094","seq":21603222,"position":1,"parentId":"449a955122da3bd0d80000ae","content":"**Week 3: Setting up a business: ** \n\n**Question:** In IRS form SS4, Line 13 asks for the highest number of employees expected in the next 12 months, with the categories agricultural, household, or other.
