i have a navigation and 2 components. one of those components, UserInformation fetches user data and displays it. when i go to the other component and back, the data stays the same (even though its updated in the db)

how can i make sure it re-fetches the data every time? is it possible with a server component like this or does it have to be a client component?

I would suggest using react-query/swr

Yes

try fetching the data client side if you want to prevent the data cache in router cache. because its impossible to disable router cache atm
