Perplexity copied outdated info in answers, how can I refresh sources?

Perplexity can surface outdated information when it relies on older indexed pages, cached search results, or sources with weak publication-date signals.

This happens more often with rapidly changing topics like software updates, pricing, AI news, sports, or company policies.

To refresh results, enable Web mode or Pro Search, then explicitly ask for “latest sources,” “today’s information,” or “only sources from the last 7 days.”

Adding a recent timeframe in the prompt forces Perplexity to prioritize fresher pages instead of older high-ranking content.

You should also open and verify the cited links manually because some answers summarize pages that were updated partially while still containing old details.

Regenerating the answer, starting a new thread, or comparing results with Google News, official websites, and recent announcements can also improve accuracy significantly.

This is the information we have, but if you have more insights from your experience, please share in the comments.
