 The inline embeds previews in WP4.0 are great, however have one major
 flaw:

 One user enters the URL, and preview is generated via oEmbed, the embed
 code is cached for a day for that URL. There is no way for the author to
 invalidate it.

 It generally works well, but not when user wants to experiment with
 different oEmbed-related plugins or settings. To keep great function, yet
 make it more straightforward for the user to control the flow, I'd suggest
 the following.


 '''Shall we add a button "reload" to the inline previews of the embeds?
 And/or "reload" button in the Edit Embed dialog?'''


 I trust it is a great answer to the problem and fits the user experience
 well.

 We are the authors of [https://wordpress.org/plugins/iframely Iframely]
 plugin. The supports issues we get since WP4.0 mostly relate to oEmbed
 cache. But such approach will also answer the needs of other devs and
 users, for example #30282.
