Why you might need to clear your local storage
Adpulse will store certain things in your local storage. These are small things that improve your usability of the platform, such as:
Column sorting preferences
Column selection preferences
Sometimes, when we launch new features there might be instances where these items in local storage conflict with this new code and can therefore trigger issues in the platform such as:
Getting the 'oops' 404 page
The platform crashes or freezes
If you encounter issues like this, the best place to start is to clear your local settings as, in the vast majority of cases, this will solve the issue.
