| 1. A pull request is reviewed and merged to master. | ||
| 2. A new release of [mdn-browser-compat-data](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mdn-browser-compat-data) is created by MDN staff. This happens every 4-14 days. | ||
| 3. A new image of [Kumascript](https://github.com/mdn/kumascript), which includes the BCD release, is built and deployed to production. This happens within a day of the npm package release. | ||
| 4. The MDN page using the data is regenerated. For newly converted pages, a staff member switches to the [{{Compat}](https://github.com/mdn/kumascript/blob/master/macros/Compat.ejs) macro, and re-checks the conversion. For updates to converted pages, a logged-in MDN user force-refreshes the page to regenerate it. |

I would suggest mentioning that the force-refresh feature is activated using Ctrl+Shift+R (code: **`Ctrl`**+**`Shift`**+**`R`**).

It's Command-Shift-R on FF for MacOS. If there's a good webpage for "how to force-refresh", I'd link to that.

I’ve learnt about it through a tweet.
Anyway, turns out it just requires an override cache reload in the browser while logged in, which means that I can just press Shift+F5 or Shift‑click the reload button.
