Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

Good to know

The Preformatted block keeps text exactly as you type it, spaces and line breaks included, in a fixed-width font. It suits a simple timetable laid out with spaces, or text copied from a system that relies on spacing.

For ordinary writing use the Paragraph block, because preformatted text does not wrap neatly on a small screen.
