As always, RebelMouse continues to make updates to keep your website modern and on top of the latest trends. Here's what we deployed in July 2026.
Security — cross-auth token lifespan reduced
The authentication token used when the dashboard hands off to internal tools was valid for 24 hours — far longer than needed. It now expires in 15 minutes, which is all the time the handoff actually requires.
Why it matters: A tighter token window reduces exposure if a token were ever intercepted — a straightforward security hardening with no impact on normal workflow.
Component data sources — rendering and load more fixed
Components using data source blocks were not rendering correctly on initial page load, and "load more" could fetch duplicate items or miscalculate how many posts to retrieve.
Why it matters: Pages using data source-driven components now load their content correctly the first time, and pagination returns the right posts without duplicates.
Image library — exclude images by tag
The image library now supports an "Exclude Tags" filter in both the Entry Editor and the Image Library dashboard — letting you hide entire tag categories from image search results when browsing or attaching images to posts.
Why it matters: Teams managing large image libraries with licensed, restricted, or brand-specific assets can now filter those out of search results instantly — reducing noise and preventing the wrong images from being used in content.
Engagement dashboard — live template and preset previews
The Engagement Dashboard now shows a real visual preview when selecting a template or preset — so you can see exactly what it looks like before committing to it.
Why it matters: Previously, users had to select a template blind and backtrack if it wasn't right. With live previews, teams can make confident choices the first time — reducing setup errors and speeding up workflow.
Post reordering — drag and drop now works reliably
Dragging posts to reorder them could cause items to appear blank or leave the on-screen order out of sync with what was actually saved — especially when multiple requests fired simultaneously during the drag.
Why it matters: Post ordering is now stable and consistent. What you see after a reorder accurately reflects what's saved — no blank items, no surprises.
