CSS changes not taking effect in Django development

Question

I'm trying to create a web application using Django and I've encountered a problem. Whenever I make any changes to the css file, the web page does not show those changes. However, if I copy the contents of that css file, create a new css file and paste it in there, it works perfectly. I don't know what's going on, please help.

I tried to change the css to make some changes in the web page, but the changes were not applied. If I want to make any changes I have to create a new file and copy the content from the previous css file. This new file worked fine for a while, then stopped responding again - then I had to create a new css file.

If you have done all the steps correctly, then after each change you need to use the command python manage.py collectstatic
