As helpful as caches can be, sometimes they can also cause some frustration.

Web Services has configured some fairly aggressive caching rules so that our users don't get bogged down by slow page loads. When we do this, it means that sometimes the system might hold on to some stale data, even after you've made a content change.

Fortunately, the Admin Menu provides an easy-to-use shortcut that can be configured for access by different roles - including roles that don't have access to the Configuration section of the site.
