Screen Refresh
Seems one of the users biggest issues is to "Refresh" their screen when in SharePoint. If User A and B enter the site at the same time and User A opens File 1, works in the file and saves / checks in the file, but user B does not "refresh" their screen before clicking on the file, User B typically runs into some type of file issue, from opening errors to saving errors. However if the same situation occurs but before opening the file, user B "refreshes" their screen, the system works without any hiccups. Is there away to build into the SharePoint site some type of auto refresh so that the pages will refresh every X min or sec or if hours if I can use decimals.... This way we could potentially limit the number of these errors. Not sure if I can get IT to agree to do some mass download of an add in like the auto refresh that I find when searching the net on suggestions, so looking to see if there is something that can be done in SharePoint specifically.

- I second this request. This is a near constant headache for my organization and something I get asked about on the regular. I am in charge of the maintenance of and staff training for SharePoint for my organization. I use multiple browsers when I am editing the site so that can test how the pages view and I have to not only refresh, but also clear the cache so that I can get the most recent version of a page. Quite frustrating all around.
