I've been doing some work on my Homebrew spells (updating wording, changing a few statistics) and in most cases, the spell will not update for any character, even after removing the spell and refreshing the page.
For example, I created a spell Soul Arrow, but noticed it wasn't displaying damage rolls correctly or displaying that it could scale with a higher level cast. I went into the spell and edited it, removed it from the PC then refreshed. Whenever I add it back, it's added back as the un-edited version. I made a copy of it and made the changes, then added it to a PC. The changes worked, but of course it said "COPY_OF_SOUL_ARROW" so I deleted the original Soul Arrow and renamed the copy in its place. Again, it will not update no matter what I type or how many times I save it, remove it from a PC, re-add it.
Is this a potential bug or am I just not doing something correctly? Thanks!
After you add or change anything, you must re-save the entire Homebrew using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information to trigger the system to pick up the changes.

This does not work for me. I pressed the save and after that, refreshed the page, removed the spell from the spell list, refreshed again. Still, it doesn't work. :(
It can take up to 20 minutes for changes to push through to a character sheet that is already using the homebrew.
Also, you don’t have to remove anything unless you’ve made the mistake of publishing your homebrew before making sure it works correctly and thoroughly playtesting and editing the thing. If you did, the only way to fix it is to “create new version,” edit that, republish to overwrite the old version, and then you have to delete the old version from the character sheet, remove it from “your collection” and then add the new version to the character sheet.

Ok, waiting longer seems to do the trick. Thanks!
