Why is my sub-nav drop down element still linking to the old PDF even after I replaced it with a new one in Webflow?

There could be several reasons why your sub-nav drop down element is still linking to the old PDF file even after replacing it with a new one in Webflow. Here are some possible explanations and solutions:

1. Cached Content:

• Browsers often cache website content to improve loading speed. It's possible that your browser is still loading the old cached version of the PDF file.
• Solution: Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page. This will force the browser to fetch the updated content from the server.

1. Linking to the wrong file:

• Double-check that you have replaced the correct file in the sub-nav drop down element.
• Solution: Open the sub-nav element in Webflow and verify that the correct file is linked.

1. Incorrect file path:

• If the new PDF file was uploaded to a different location or folder, the old file path in your sub-nav link may still be pointing to the previous PDF file.
• Solution: Update the file path in the sub-nav link to reflect the new location or folder of the replaced PDF file.

1. Update not published:

• If you made changes to your website in Webflow but haven't published the updates, the old PDF file could still be displayed on the live site.
• Solution: Make sure to publish your changes in Webflow for them to take effect on the live site.

1. CSS or JavaScript conflict:

• There might be a conflicting CSS or JavaScript code that is causing the sub-nav element to incorrectly link to the old PDF file.
• Solution: Check the custom code sections in Webflow and any external CSS or JavaScript files used on your site for any conflicts or incorrect references to the old file.

1. Website caching or CDN:

• If your website is using a caching service or a content delivery network (CDN), it's possible that the old PDF file is still being served from their cache instead of the updated file from your server.
• Solution: Clear the cache or purge the CDN cache to ensure that the latest version of the PDF file is being served.

By checking these potential issues and applying the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the problem of your sub-nav drop down element still linking to the old PDF file.
