I am trying to make a css change to my sharepoint 2013 site. I make the change to the css and save it, but it isn't reflected on the site.
Things I have tried:
- I make a more drastic broadly scoped change to the css, something
like div{border: 2px solid red} and it still doesn't show up - Deleted CSS file -> css still being applied to site normally
- Restored css file and changed the name in file explorer view -> Sharepoint updates my Masterpage.html link tag automatically and css changes are now reflected correctly. Tried to make a new change in newly renamed file. Change NOT represented on site. Rename to a 3rd name -> site reflects changes correctly.
- Changed link tag in masterpage.html manually back to 1st name of css file -> site's styling changes back to styles inline with old css before any changes even tho there is NO file in the directory with this name.
- Changes link tag to name of 2nd rename of css file -> Site changes in line with css during that rename state. This file ALSO does not exist currently
- Empty all caches, files, temps. Try different browsers, Try incognito mode. Everything continues to be inline with previous findings.
- Inspecting css file in developer tools displays css file inline with the stat at whichever naming I check. So If the link tag is pointing to the non-existent first name of css it will open a css file with no changes even tho that file does not exist.
What am I missing? Is sharepoint copying these files somewhere and then somehow accessing them even those the href is pointing to a location that doesn't exist?
