I am aware that I can update the CSS and JS file names with some sort of versioning scheme (i.e. myscript_20231018.js), but the DNN site I am supporting has 8+ layout template files. Therefore, I would like to avoid having to update multiple template files when I update the Javascript. Is there an easier way to force browsers to pull the latest CSS/JS changes other than this approach I mentioned above?
You don't need to do anything to have a version appended to your static dependencies. (This happens automatically via the underlying Client Resource Manager.) This will always be the case, as long as you properly version your theme and install it using DNN's installer.
By the way, it looks more like this example:
<code>example.com/Portals/_default/Skins/MyThemeName/scripts/MyCustomScript.js?cdv=123</code>
In the example above, the <code>123</code> number is incremented when you install the extension. You can also manually increment it using the Servers > Performance view in the persona bar.
Thanks! This should be what I am looking for...did not realize this was a setting.

What staff? What are you referring to?
That response doesn't make any sense. <code>Naraize</code> has been moderated until we can verify this is not a bot (or person using a bot).
