# Invalidate Markdown Cache
|
|
|
|
For performance reasons, GitLab caches the HTML version of Markdown text
|
|
(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that these cached versions become outdated, for example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):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/application/settings?local_markdown_version=<increased_number>
|
|
```
