Why do documents sometimes open with the wrong file data after switching files

This happens when browser caching retains document content from a previously viewed file but updates the header.

Quick fix:

Press Ctrl + F5 after switching files.

Double-check the file name and tab before opening documents.

Avoid opening too many files in rapid succession.

Wait 1–2 seconds between file switches to allow the page to load fully.
