Preview/Publish: Revisions not showing up in live form.

    The only way for me to see edits I have made to a form is via Revision Preview. When I use the regular "Preview Form" toggle, only my old version of a form shows up. I have already cleared cache multiple times.

    The form giving me the problem is here:

    https://form.jotform.com/73177093446159

    I need this form to mimic the behavior of the form I have here:

    https://form.jotform.com/52423543418149 

    The key component here is I need the form to require a PIN code before allowing the rest of the form to be filled out. For some reason, the first form which is the current one I am using will not update live regardless of publishing and clearing cache. I have gone line by line to ensure the previous year's version and the current look exactly the same but with no luck. Please advise.

    Did you try clearing the browser cache or clearing the form cache? I have cleared the form cache for you. So please try it again now.

    Of course, the moment I hit "submit" on the question, the form started working. I HAD already cleared the broswer cache. Can you show me how one would clear the form cache?

    I am wondering if it had anything to do with me republishing the website that the form is linked from. I don't really see why that would impact how I was viewing the form on JotForm's website. Maybe it was just a timing issue (though I struggled to troubleshoot my own issue for 30 minutes before submitting the question.) Anyway, it is working now but perhaps you could show me how to clear the form cache? I assume that won't impact the previous submissions I already have collected from the form?

    It was definitely a cache issue.
