Hi @jasell, Yeah, this is is known side affect of performing an in-place change of image, where caching is active. We could add cache-invalidating query additions to these, but that's getting pretty hacky, especially for images used in-content already, outside of the image manager itself. Otherwise, there could be other options with certain image storage options we provide, but not sure I'd want to add that complexity for a minor element.
Could be something best pracitally solved to added wording to advise of this scearnio, warning the user old images may be shown for a little while.
A simple solution could be to notify the user to do a page reload or F5 to see the effect of the update image. The Message could be visible until the page is reloaded.
