Does making adjustments to content in the CMS change the original publishing date in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Editing CMS content and republishing the site updates the live version, but does not change original publishing dates unless date fields are manually adjusted.
When you make adjustments to content in the Webflow CMS, it can affect the related publication information.
1. Editing CMS Content
- Editing a CMS item itself does not automatically update the original publishing date displayed on your live site.
- The original publishing date is usually retained for reference purposes.
2. Republishing the Site
- However, republishing the entire site after content edits will update the live version with your changes.
- Republishing does not change the original publishing dates unless you explicitly modify date fields in the CMS.
3. Modifying Date Fields
- If the CMS item includes a Date field, you can manually adjust this to reflect a new date.
- Ensure you’re aware that this manual change impacts the way dates are displayed on your live site.
Summary
Adjustments to CMS content do not inherently change the original publishing date. Republishing the site will integrate changes, but original dates remain unless manually edited in the CMS.
