- Please note this patch will not change your DocMX version number. Only the licensing component has been updated and there should be no other changes to your DocMX environment.
- If you are having issues with Hard Refresh, be sure to run a cache clearing process.
- Edge appears to be specifically impacted by its handling of caching policy, performing a Cache Clear will force all components to reload.
