What version are you using? I think sync cache has matured a bit since it was first introduced. On 8.0 I am constantly using it to see form and AL updates.
One trick is you need to either clear your browser cache or force a cache refresh by using CTRL + F5. Also in the past I have noticed some issues where changed objects being displayed via an inline panel are not easily refreshed. In that case I keep the form itself open in a tab and force the cache refresh on the form itself before trying it inline.
