Entry Editor is one of RebelMouse’s most powerful features. It’s designed to give content creators the powerful publishing tools they need to move the needle on the metrics that matter most. Here’s everything you need to know about Entry Editor’s
Advanced Settings.
To access Advanced Settings, click the gear icon in the right-hand navigation menu of Entry Editor:
This menu provides a number of different functionalities. Here’s how each one functions, along with more about how you can use them:
Source URL
The Source URL field allows you to enter a different URL to redirect users to when they click on the post.
For example, if you have a post about team updates in 2021, but want anyone who tries to click on the post to be automatically redirected to another post with the team updates for 2022, you can enter the destination URL into the Source URL field. Be sure that the full URL is entered, and tick the checkbox next to
Link Out Directly to the Original Source to ensure that users are automatically redirected to the new URL.
The Source URL field can also be used to direct users to a third-party website. For example, RebelMouse-powered
Environmental Health News has a “From the Web” feature on their site. The stories featured in this section are displayed on their site normally, but redirect to the third-party site’s source URL when clicked. Here’s a GIF of what that experience looks like:
Embargo
The embargo setting prevents an article from being published until a specific date and time. To set an embargo date, tick the checkbox next to
Embargo. Then, use the calendar to set an embargo date and time. Once set, you will see a banner at the top of the post that indicates it has been embargoed. When you are done editing, click the Embargoed button in the top-right corner to save your changes. Here’s a GIF of that experience:

Unpublish Date
You can set a time for your post to be unpublished from your site, however, you will still be able to access it from the Posts Dashboard in your Drafts folder. Use the calendar feature to set the date and time. You can click
Today at the bottom of the calendar to unpublish as soon as possible.
Once entered, you will see your desired unpublish date displayed. Note that it can take up to one hour for the change to take effect. Click
Cancel to cancel the unpublish date and keep the post live on your site.
Lock Post
You can lock posts that are being actively edited through the Sections Dashboard. When a post is in a section that is locked for edits, the article will be locked. It doesn't matter if it's in several sections that are editable, either. We prioritize lockdown mode.
A post can be manually overridden by an administrator or editor in Entry Editor by going to Advanced Settings and unticking the
Unlock This Post checkbox:
You can assign badges to certain posts and authors. Some sites in our network use them to flag their promoted content, others just like to have a cool way to categorize their content.
Click
+ Add Badge to assign a badge to a post. From there, you will see a drop-down menu of your saved badges. Select your desired badge to assign it to the post.
The first badge you select will be the post's primary badge. You can assign multiple badges to a post, but your primary badge will show up first.
Snark Line
The snark line is an additional subheadline for your post. If you would like to use this field, contact your account manager.
Disable Ads
You can disable any ads you typically have enabled for posts on your website. To do so, tick the checkbox next to
Disable Ads.

We're in a much better position to make it through the current crisis in part due to RebelMouse and their platform. We've not only saved on overhead costs, we've more easily optimized our traffic with their smart measuring and SEO tools, as well as their social integrations.

THANK YOU for all the good, fast work you put into making our public rollout such a big success. I know we threw a lot at you very quickly, but you were calm under pressure and pulled it all off perfectly. Very glad to be working with you all.
Tim Grieve
Executive Editor Protocol
So inspired and impressed by these results from RebelMouse. Check them out and ask Andrea Breanna how they got there! Just goes to show that spending millions doesn't necessarily get you to the right destination. It's spending no more than you need on the right technology with the right platform that does! 🌐💙🏎️

It is not often I jump out of my chair and scream in a positive way, but I just did! This is the happiest I have seen my Managing Editor in 2021! Thank you.

Working with RebelMouse is an actual treat. From the CEO down, every single member of the team has partnered with us to meet our needs. Everyone willingly (and with endless patience!) shares their expertise and insights to ensure we optimize search and create a great audience experience. As we have implemented the various search tactics, positive results are almost instantaneous. Training our content creators has been simple. The system is incredibly user friendly. As a co-worker commented, "RebelMouse doesn't just sell you something, they partner with you to deliver exactly what you want." I couldn't agree more!
Emma Schofield

We continue to be huge fans of RebelMouse and envision a very long-term relationship with the platform. The service has been impeccable.

RebelMouse's Layout & Design Tool is one of the most comprehensive and flexible tools I have ever used of any CMS. Their product team is also extremely helpful and constantly supports to make sure your properties are up to date and use the best industry standards, especially in terms of page speed.
Chuck Lapointe
CEO Narcity Media
The best thing about RebelMouse is how much they care about their customers. When working with them, I always get a sense that they go above and beyond for their customers. When working with the RebelMouse team, I very much consider them to be a partner, rather than just a vendor. Upon migrating to their technology, we have seen tremendous improvements in many key areas, particularly technical SEO. They have out-of-the-box functionality that is tremendously helpful to customers. At the same time, their system is flexible enough to allow us to adapt it to any new business needs that we have.

RebelMouse has shepherded us through the modernization phase, and has been keen, practical, and nimble throughout the entire journey. They have helped modernize our website through an infinite scroll setup that allows us more advertising real estate while creating more time on site to capture reader engagement. Plus, the RebelMouse team has helped educate our own team on the various aspects of programmatic advertising and worked to best implement them. Premier Guitar joining forces with RebelMouse in 2020 was one of the best choices we could have made!
