Overview

New Private Window (Incognito) uses a fresh cache and cookies to load a site. It doesn’t store this information once you exit out of it. This is one of the reasons why we recommend users to open their sites using this mode in order to ensure that they are browsing an updated site.

This article describes how to open a publishing site using a new private window on end-users browsers.
