  4. Enter the following URLs. Replace the presets below with the ones that are in use in your site (product detail, thumbnail, search results, and so on. 
    <ID>?$s7product$
    <ID>?$1200x1200$
  5. Now select a few images, and choose File > Invalidate CDN.
  6. You see a list of URLs generated from the template you created and the images you selected. It uses the server URL listed under "Published Server Name" under the Application General Settings.
  7. You can also make any edits in that window, if necessary.
  8. Click Continue.
  9. You see a dialog box that indicates that request was submitted. Click OK.
