Magento provides a feature to invalidate the browser cache for static content. Magento adds a deployment version number into the URL of static files.
To deploy static content we have to run setup:static-content:deploy command, this command auto change the deployment version in pub/static/deployed_version.txt, After this deployment url of static files auto change and forces the browser to load the new version of files.
If the url deployment version is not matched with the current deployment version which exists in pub/static/deployed_version.txt then it throws 404 errors for those static files.
Url with deployment version:
