2026-07-02-mesh-hostname-routing.mdx was only tagged cloudflare-one, but the entry is specifically about Cloudflare Mesh. Add the mesh product tag so it also surfaces on Mesh-scoped changelog views.
Hardware appliances require the serial number printed on the physical device (obtained via account team); virtual appliances only need a name, since Cloudflare generates the license key. Make that distinction explicit instead of implying both paths converge on 'Generate authentication key'.
- Wrap the dashboard registration and key-rotation steps in <Steps> per the style guide, instead of raw Markdown ordered lists. - Fix VMWare -> VMware branding in the page description and in the pre-existing noConnectorShows Render param (two instances). - Normalize <Render> params to consistent 2-space indentation (previously mixed tabs and spaces).
- Embed a GIF showing the virtual appliance registration and authentication-key generation flow. - Link 'Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance' to the appliance product landing page.
