Introduction
When products are imported into the website, the system automatically updates the cache and index details for each product imported. The product cache is stored locally on the website which aids website performance and the index details are used to optimize product searches.
However, while making manual changes on the website via the Admin Portal, we recommend you run a manual update of the cache and index details. This will ensure that your users will see your content changes.
If you find that your product changes that have been imported are also not showing correctly we recommend that you run a manual update of the cache and index details.
To run a manual update, go to Admin > Site Configuration > Ecommerce Control. Whereby you will see the controls as follows:-
1) Clear Index
