# Cache Refresh Zenlytic caches your data model to keep responses fast. When you edit the model through [Context Manager](/data-modeling/context_manager.md) in the UI, the cache is invalidated automatically. When changes are pushed **directly to the underlying git repository** — bypassing the UI — the cache does not know about them. If you or a teammate pushed changes straight to git and Zoë still appears to be using the old data model, use the **force-refresh** button in the UI to rebuild the cache from the current state of the repo. After the refresh completes, Zoë will pick up your latest changes on the next question. ## When you need to force-refresh * A pull request was merged directly to the production branch in git. * A teammate pushed model changes through an IDE or command line instead of the Zenlytic UI. * You're integrating Zenlytic with a CI pipeline that commits model files automatically. ## When you don't need to force-refresh * You edited the model in Context Manager and used **Deploy to production**. * You switched branches in the UI (the UI already refreshes the cache for branch switches). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.zenlytic.com/data-modeling/cache-refresh.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
