Intro
A common issue to run into during Salesforce configuration is making a change to a page layout and then having to wait a while for this change to be reflected while viewing a record.
You can remove the delay entirely by completing the following steps:
Guide
Step 1 – Navigate to Setup:
Step 2 – Search for and click “Session Settings”:
Step 3 – Scroll down and disable “Enable secure and persistent browser caching to improve performance”:
Step 4 – Scroll down and save the change.
After completion of step 4, you will no-longer experience a delay between making a change in a page layout and being able to view this change on a record.
Considerations
There are some considerations to using this method:
- This method may affect overall record page load performance. My recommendation is that this method is only used in circumstances where record page load times are of lesser importance than being able to quickly view a page layout change.
- Using this method implies that you have not yet migrated to the usage of Salesforce Dynamic Forms. I would heavily recommend the utilisation of Salesforce Dynamic Forms due to the myriad of benefits and future-proofing that are accompanied. I will be creating a separate article about some interesting UI designs that can be achieved via Dynamic Forms.
