Due to caching time on the Lean Library extension, any changes saved on the dashboard will not be reflected immediately. The amount of time needed for changes to appear will vary depending on the type of change you're making on your dashboard.

Changes in the dashboard will not reflect for your users until either the browser or the extension is restarted, or the extension cache is refreshed at the hourly refresh interval.

Please see below for the estimated caching time for each feature:
