mui
[docs] Auto reload interrupting flow
Steps to reproduce
Steps:
- Navigate to https://mui.com/
- Click on the search field at the top
- Start typing
- Browser reloads window clearing search
- Note I believe it only happens when a new version has been deployed since your last visit to the docs site
Current behavior
Browser reloads window clearing search. I suspect it's caused by the service worker logic https://github.com/mui/material-ui/blob/2d5a0bc597fb9d954504221f21f521042be969fe/docs/pages/_app.js#L50C7-L50C32
Expected behavior
Can complete search without interruption
Context
No response
Your environment
Search keywords: docs refresh reload
I have been experiencing this behavior and it's quite annoying. Open to suggestion to better solution that auto reloading.
One behavior I like from Ashby is to show a toast that a new site is released, click refresh to get the latest content.
Another option could be to wait until the user clicks a navigation link before doing the reload. This disadvantage of this though is they could be looking at old content on the first page they landed on and not know it

Hi! We are a team of 3 CMU students and would like to work on this issue as part of our Software Engineering course project. Could you confirm this is available to work on, and if so assign the issue to me? Thanks!
@harsher216 Feel free to open a PR. But be aware that this issue could be tricky
