Description
Since this is a single page application, a user won't necessarily use the newest version of the app after a release. A refresh of the page might be needed.
If that's the case, we could show a message to the users prompting them to do a refresh.
We could potentially automatically refresh their browser for them, but that might affect their current app-state. 🤔

Research direction
Start by locating how the single page application detects or exposes released versions and where user-facing messages are rendered. Define how a newer version is recognized, how users are prompted to refresh without losing current app state, and how the behavior can be verified after a release.
