It is important to clear the cache of your browser from time to time to avoid it to take too much space on the hard disk of your computer.

If you are using a Windows PC with the Microsoft Edge browser, we advise you to use the internet browsers Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox in order to follow the Windows browser steps below, and for optimal performance of the Aproplan web application.

On Safari:

1) You will first need to activate the web developer menu. Click on the top left corner of your screen in the menu bar on "Safari" and then click on "Settings" in the drop-down menu.

2) Click on the gears icon "Advanced" in the top right. Then click the box at the very bottom of the window: "Show features for developers"

3) Once this menu has been activated, you will see it appear at the top of your screen between "Bookmarks" and "Window". Click on the menu and select "Empty Caches"

On Firefox:

1) Open the preferences of Firefox (click at the top right corner to open the menu and select "Preferences")

2) Click on "Advanced" and select the third tab ("Network"). Click on the first "Clear now" button.

4) Under the "Privacy and security" section, click on "Clear browsing data."

5) In the pop-up window, choose the time range for which you want to clear the cache (e.g., "Last hour," "Last 24 hours," "All time").
