Show published/ last updated dates on pages

[willguv]

PaulB raised this at Product Group and in Slack

Is there anything on the board about adding published/last updated dates to webpages? Is this feature already available?

Stephen:

It's easy enough to add this sort of functionality; just need to adjust the display options One thing we can do is make sure they display nicely when enabled

To do

• Discuss need at content group
• Decide what needs to be shown and where on the page
• Decide whether dates are shown on every page or selected ones (Paul suggests selected ones)

Where does this appear please?

[markconroy]

It doesn't appear anywhere. It's a block but you'll need to decide where you want to place it yourself.

You can go to Admin > Structure > Blocks and place it in any region

It will need to be optional as we don't know if council web teams have put sensitive or information they may not want to be public.

@andybroomfield That's the handy thing about this being a block, councils can decide what pages/content types they want it on.

I guess we could create a custom field either that would be shown to the public listing updates and leave the revisions field for just internal use.
