Review notes

  • Source article does not specify whether cache/cookies steps apply to browsers other than Chrome, so the draft keeps the cache instruction browser-neutral and references the Chrome-specific help article only where provided.
  • No internal support contact form URL was provided, so the escalation step stays generic and does not include a link.
