**Note:** The Community Visualization feature is in Developer Preview. To learn more about upcoming features and improvements during this period, visit the [Developer Preview](https://developers.google.com/data-studio/visualization/developer-preview) page.

Caching can be used to improve the performance of Community Visualizations.

## Using `devMode`

Data Studio caches community components by default. Setting `devMode` to
`true` in the manifest bypasses the cache, allowing you to load the latest
version of your code. If `devMode` is not set, it defaults to `false`, which
means that Data Studio will serve a cached version of your community
component.

The cached version of the component automatically updates every 12 hours. To
bypass the cache for a previously cached component, set `devMode` to `true`
and allow 12 hours for the cached `devMode` preference to expire.
