Your computer or device holds files in a "cache" that it uses to load Collums more quickly. When we update, if your computer holds onto this cache, it may cause problems.

If you have problems with Collums such as logging in or loading pages, first try using Incognito mode in Chrome. This loads Collums ignoring your cache. If this fixes the problem, use the instructions below to clear your cache.

Important: Always use Google Chrome to run Collums.

On a computer

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.

  2. At the top right, click the 3 dots / New Incognito window.

  3. A new window appears. At the top corner, check for the Incognito icon
