Rails/Devise: Force sign out & redirect on all pages when user session destroyed

Question

I have a persistent error that keeps on popping up. Here's the use case:

User is logged in & has multiple tabs/windows of the app open.
User logs out (session is successfully destroyed) & is redirected back to home page (root_path).
User reloads or takes action on any of the other already open tabs.
User encounters error and must manually navigate to root_path via address bar.

Is there a best practice to prevent this altogether? Is it better to have an error page that has a link to the root path where they can log back in?

I appreciate any help at all. Thanks!

According to the documentation if a user is not authenticatable you can redirect to a specific page.

Maybe it is also helpful :
