# Invalidate Markdown Cache
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
For performance reasons, GitLab caches the HTML version of Markdown text
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
(e.g. issue and merge request descriptions, comments). It's possible
that these cached versions become outdated, for example
when the `external_url` configuration option is changed - causing links
in the cached text to refer to the old URL.
To avoid this problem, the administrator can invalidate the existing cache by
increasing the `local_markdown_version` setting in application settings. This can
be done by [changing the application settings through
the API](../api/settings.md#change-application-settings):
```bash
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/application/settings?local_markdown_version=<increased_number>
```
