Is there a way when I update the site, the cache is refreshed

I am using React, and the service worker is activated and caches the static and everything is fine until now

The problem is when I make changes to the site and deploy the files The site still displays the old version, which is the one that was cached before. And I have to clear the data for the site to see the new version , which is the client will not do :(

Is there a way when I update the site, the cache is refreshed ?

btw I am using the initial service worker that comes with react(which uses "workbox") , and I didn't change any thing in it .
