Cache First

Cache First is a form configuration option that helps improve performance for app users with poor network connectivity.

When Cache First is enabled, app and form changes can be downloaded in the background while users continue using the app. Once the latest changes have finished downloading, users will see a refresh button that allows them to load the updated version.
