next.js react state-management JavaScript

I'm facing an issue in my Next.js application where the state does not seem to update correctly after making a client-side navigation. I'm using `getServerSideProps` to fetch data for my page, and I also have a component-level state that I update based on the fetched data. However, after navigating to a different page and coming back, the state reflects the previous data instead of the updated data fetched from the server. For instance, if I navigate to `/products` which fetches a list of products, and then to `/cart` and back to `/products`, the state of the product list on the `/products` page remains the same as the previous fetch. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript // pages/products.js import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; const Products = ({ initialProducts }) => { const [products, setProducts] = useState(initialProducts); useEffect(() => { // This updates state based on initial fetch setProducts(initialProducts); }, [initialProducts]); return ( <div> <h1>Product List</h1> <ul> {products.map(product => ( <li key={product.id}>{product.name}</li> ))} </ul> </div> ); }; export async function getServerSideProps() { const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/products'); const data = await res.json(); return { props: { initialProducts: data }, // This is what I want to update }; } export default Products; ``` No error messages are thrown, but the `products` state does not seem to reflect the new data after returning to the `/products` page. I've tried adding a dependency on the `useEffect` for the initial data but it seems not to trigger correctly on client-side navigations. How can I ensure that the state updates correctly each time the page is navigated to? Is there something I'm missing with how Next.js handles state between server-side props and client-side state management?
