How to Hard Refresh ClickUp in Any Browser
When pages do not load correctly in ClickUp, a hard refresh can quickly fix many display and caching issues. This guide explains how to perform a hard refresh in popular web browsers so you can reload the most up-to-date version of your workspace.
A hard refresh forces your browser to bypass stored cache and download fresh files from the server. This is different from a normal refresh, which may reuse outdated local data and cause unexpected behavior inside ClickUp.
Why Hard Refresh ClickUp?
Before using more advanced troubleshooting, performing a hard refresh is a simple way to resolve many minor issues. Hard refreshing your browser while using ClickUp can help when you notice:
- Pages not updating or showing old content.
- Layout or styling problems after a recent product update.
- Buttons or menus not responding as expected.
- Views loading partially or appearing blank.
Because web apps rely heavily on cached files, forcing your browser to reload everything from the server often clears these temporary glitches.
General Steps to Hard Refresh ClickUp
The specific keyboard shortcuts differ by operating system and browser, but the purpose is always the same: reload the page while ignoring the cache. In most browsers, a hard refresh in ClickUp involves two main actions:
- Open the ClickUp page where you notice a problem.
- Use the correct hard refresh shortcut for your browser and device (listed in the sections below).
After the page reloads, check if the issue is resolved. If problems continue, try logging out and back in, or clearing your browser cache entirely.
Hard Refresh ClickUp in Google Chrome
Google Chrome provides several quick ways to perform a hard refresh while you are working in ClickUp.
Chrome on Windows and Linux for ClickUp
- Open the ClickUp tab where the issue appears.
- Press Ctrl + F5 to perform a hard refresh.
Alternatively, you can use:
- Ctrl + Shift + R to reload while bypassing cache.
- Right-click the reload icon (next to the address bar) and choose options such as an empty cache and hard reload, when available in developer tools.
Chrome on macOS for ClickUp
- Navigate to your ClickUp workspace in Chrome.
- Hold Shift and click the Reload button in the toolbar.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut:
- Command + Shift + R to hard refresh the active ClickUp tab.
Hard Refresh ClickUp in Mozilla Firefox
Firefox offers straightforward keyboard shortcuts for hard refreshing a ClickUp page.
Firefox on Windows and Linux for ClickUp
- Go to the ClickUp page that is not displaying correctly.
- Press Ctrl + F5 to perform a hard refresh.
As an alternative, you can press:
- Ctrl + Shift + R to reload the page and ignore cached content.
Firefox on macOS for ClickUp

- Hold Command + Shift and then press R to hard refresh.
You can also hold Shift and click the Reload button in the toolbar to bypass the cache for the current ClickUp page.
Hard Refresh ClickUp in Microsoft Edge
Since Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium, its shortcuts are similar to Chrome. Use these steps while working in ClickUp.
Edge on Windows for ClickUp
- Open your ClickUp workspace in Microsoft Edge.
- Press Ctrl + F5 to trigger a hard refresh.
You can also use:
- Ctrl + Shift + R to reload the page while ignoring the cache.
Hard Refresh ClickUp in Safari
Safari on macOS uses a slightly different approach. Use these options when ClickUp does not load correctly.
Enable the Develop Menu in Safari
If you have not already enabled it, turn on the Develop menu first:
- Open Safari and go to Safari > Settings (or Preferences in older versions).
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Check Show Develop menu in menu bar.
Safari on macOS for ClickUp
- Navigate to the ClickUp page you want to reload.
- Press Option + Command + R to perform a hard refresh that reloads resources.
Another method is to use the Develop menu:
- Click Develop in the menu bar.
- Select Empty Caches.
- Then click the Reload button to load a fresh version of ClickUp.
Hard Refresh ClickUp on Other Browsers
Some less common browsers use similar shortcuts to Chrome or Firefox. When using ClickUp in these browsers, try one of the following:
- Ctrl + F5 on Windows and Linux-based systems.
- Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows and Linux.
- Command + Shift + R on macOS.
- Holding Shift while clicking the Reload button with your mouse.
If none of these shortcuts work while using ClickUp, check the help documentation for your specific browser to confirm its hard refresh method.
When a Hard Refresh Is Not Enough in ClickUp
Sometimes a hard refresh will not fully resolve the problem. If ClickUp continues to show issues after following the steps above, consider the following additional actions:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies entirely.
- Try opening ClickUp in a private or incognito window.
- Disable browser extensions temporarily to see if one is interfering.
- Update your browser to the latest version.
- Restart your device and sign back into ClickUp.
Persistent problems may require more detailed troubleshooting or contacting support with a description of what you see after performing a hard refresh.
