Add Components to Sidekick without use the Design Dialog.

Hi,

I would like a hand with this task.

I want to add Components to the sidekick, I am following this tip:

http://blogs.adobe.com/contentmanagement/2011/10/25/how-to-add-components-to-the-sidekick-without-updating-the-sidekick/

But is not reflecting to the sidekick the component that I add to the design configuration in the repository if I do not delete the browser cache and refresh the page.

I do not know if there is another easy way to do this.

My requirement is create an accordion component, is created with a parsys to permit to include accordionitem to the accordion component, and the requirement is that the accordionitem appears in the sidekick automatically when a accordion is added to the page.

Thank you for the help.

Miguel.

DayCare has provided an interim workaround:

Update the cq:lastModifed on the design's jcr:content node.  This property is used as the Last-Modified header on the response for/etc/designs/default/_jcr_content.1429866000000.json/.

If you clear your browser cache - you are seeing the component in the sidekick - is that correct?

In the past - i have noticed that i have to clear the cache and reload the page to see the component. Sometimes it is necessary to clear the cache when working with AEM.

Yes If I clear the browser cache I can see the component in the sidekick.

But It is not a good behaviour to me, I would need to do this automatically, I make a code to create the changes in the repository, but if the component is not shown in the sidekick then is not valid the solution.

Thanks.
