Troubleshoot common display and account issues caused by stored data in your browser.

You can use private browsing to accept account invites, open password reset links, and view your scheduling page the way a visitor would.

What is private browsing?

When you browse the web, your browser automatically saves your account logins, browsing history, and cookies. It then uses that information to help load the web pages you open.

Private browsing, also known as incognito mode, opens a fresh window that doesn't use your stored data. And once you close that window, your browser forgets everything you did.
