Last Updated

Last Updated offers a sophisticated solution for accurately displaying the last updated time of a page, overcoming the limitations of the default page update time. This add-on is particularly useful for website administrators and content managers who wish to provide visitors with a precise indication of when content was last revised, taking into account the nuances of content updates.

Key Features

• Selective Area Consideration: Allows you to choose which page areas to consider for the last updated calculation, offering flexibility to exclude minor updates from areas like sidebars or footers.
• Block Update Detection: Focuses on the time individual blocks are updated, ensuring that the displayed update time reflects substantial content changes rather than minor edits or stylistic adjustments.
• Configurable Format Options: Provides a range of formatting options for displaying the update time, from relative terms like "just now" or "yesterday" to precise timestamps.
• Advanced Configuration: Offers control over how layouts, conversations, and stacks are included in the last updated calculation, and whether the addition of the Last Updated block itself is considered an update.
• Dashboard Management: Features a dashboard page for managing global default settings, allowing for customization of how the last updated time is calculated and displayed across the site.
