Django web app css not being refreshed in browser

Question

I'm having some issue with a django app and it's CSS file refreshing. Basically I can see that the changes I make in my file are identified and copied in the root folder of my website, however when I open up the web browser that change is not being displayed at all:

I am using Firefox as a browser however this issue happens also on Chromium browser

What if you use Ctrl+F5? Likely the style sheet is being cached by the browser. — Willem Van Onsem, Aug 10 '21 at 07:56

If you have setup everything well in your settings.py file then your best option is to disable caching form your developer panel. I had similar issues when I make changes in css and they are not updated when i refresh my browser. This is because the browser is keeping a cache of the css file and its not being updated for some reason.

So according to this post,you can disable caching
