Lovable Changes Not Showing After Publish
Quick answer
Edits in Lovable go live only after you publish an update, and browser or DNS caching often hides a successful publish. Click Publish, then Update, verify the latest publish succeeded, and hard refresh.
Most likely fix: Publish the update
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Publish the update
