Production Notes

For Assets (stylesheets, scripts, images)

If there are changes, please make sure that you change files names or update the version in the asset URL’s query string to help override the browser cache. The main stylesheet (styles.css) can change quite frequently, so to update the version across all pages, you can go into layouts/partials/head.html and adjust the version query param.
