Webpage Preview not working

[superheroic]

When I attempt to preview my web page it won't show my current iteration of the page. Any ideas?

Are you using the Preview buttons? They should open your default browser. The one on the left opens the page you are currently focussed on, the right opens all the pages in your project.

Your xara Desktop Application (XDA) has a built-in web server for its Preview.
When the XDA is opened a random path is created for the Preview. When you make lots of changes, the browser caching is not purged so you may not see your latest alterations.

You can do one of three things:

1. Purge the browser cache by pressing Ctrl+F5.
2. Force a new path by closing, re-opening and Previewing. This includes Powering Off and On again.
3. Bypass the web server by export website to a different folder during development changes.

When you have published, you can also face server caching, c.f., Cloudflare. You need to work out how your service provider allows server cache purging too.

I've purged the browser cache. Apparently the graphics I dropped in were in the Mouse Over layer. Ugh. I moved them out and I can see my new images. Whouf. Thanks for the help.

Glad you found them. Thank you for advising back too.
