What is ODSP_DB in browser cache and how SharePoint Online works with it? In SharePoint Online, Microsoft uses to store its Hub Navigation in  ODSP_DB  browser cache database. It contains various object that helps to build the primary navigation tree first and then on mouse over event the code fetches out the child components. Deleting the browser cache or directly this database actually forces SharePoint online to fetch new navigation. Check out below post on how to clear  ODSP_DB using client side code.

SharePoint online hub navigation not updating for other users

Its been quite a time that I am working with SharePoint Online and meeting new challenges every day. Its feels great when you find a solution for something which Google do not tell you. I am just writing this post because there might be someone out there facing the same issue and this post might help him. BTW, before you check the actual post of how to fix the navigation check below, this might also help to change the user language. Problem Description: When an Admin of SharePoint Online site, updates the hub navigation (or may be site navigation), it do not get updated for all the users instantly. User has to clear browser cache to get the updated navigation. As per discussion with Microsoft, SharePoint saves a copy of the navigation in browser cache which automatically refreshes after a certain period of time. By default, you cannot clear browser cache using React or JS code. Browsers do not allow you to do so. So, the user should wait till that time? ABSOLUTELY NOT! (Imran Khan 😋 )
